Effects of extremely low osmolarity on fertilized mouse eggs.

چکیده

When fertilized one-cell eggs are subjected to distilled water treatment for 2-6 min, cytoplasm bulges through the sperm-slit in the zona pellucida and forms a cytoplasmic fragment (CF). CFs were observed in 86-5% of eggs; in 20-9% of cases CFs contained a pronucleus (or pronuclei). In 53-4% of eggs permanent incorporation of the second polar body (2 P.B.) into the egg cytoplasm occurred. These phenomena occurring in different combinations produced 6-2% of haploid eggs, 10-3% of diploid eggs with a pronucleus replaced by 2 P.B. nucleus, and 43-1% of triploid eggs. 4-4% of eggs were enucleated. The remaining group comprised diploid eggs which were either not affected by the treatment (6-4%) or lost a certain amount of cytoplasm by formation of an anucleate CF (29-6%). The frequencies of the types of reaction were related to the post-fertilization stage of eggs. All eggs except the enucleated ones were able to develop to the stage of morula or blastocyst. Triploids developed until the 12th day of pregnancy and diploids that had lost up to 15% of the cytoplasm developed to term. There was a twofold reduction in the percentage of preimplantation development when treated eggs originated from induced rather than spontaneous ovulation.

In vitro activation of mouse eggs.

Unfertilized mouse eggs were activated in vitro with hyaluronidase. Subsequently they were exposed to culture medium at different osmolarities. In full strength White's culture medium they tended to form one pronucleus and a second polar body. The majority of these eggs were haploid. In 4/5 and 3/5 dilutions of this medium, the second polar body formation was suppressed and eggs tended to form ...

Maternal inheritance of mouse mtDNA in interspecific hybrids: segregation of the leaked paternal mtDNA followed by the prevention of subsequent paternal leakage.

The transmission profiles of sperm mtDNA introduced into fertilized eggs were examined in detail in F1 hybrids of mouse interspecific crosses by addressing three aspects. The first is whether the leaked paternal mtDNA in fertilized eggs produced by interspecific crosses was distributed stably to all tissues after the eggs' development to adults. The second is whether the leaked paternal mtDNA w...

A note on inbreeding effect on productive and reproductive traits in laying hens

Inbreeding rate and effects on production (body weight, age at first egg, egg weight), and reproduction (per cent of eggs fertilized, per cent of eggs hatched as related to eggs set) traits were evaluated in 9194 layers belonging to two strains. The individual inbreeding coefficients were calculated using Wright’s formula from available performance records across nine generations. The inbreedin...

The effect of osmolarity on mouse parthenogenesis.

Eggs from (C57B1 x A a G ^ mice were activated by treatment with hyaluronidase, which removed the follicle cells, and cultured in vitro. Observations were made 6-8 h after hyaluronidase treatment to determine the frequency of activation and the types of parthenogenones induced. Cumulus-free eggs resulting from hyaluronidase treatment were incubated for 2\ h in culture media of various osmolarit...
