[ 1 ] - P-72: Ovine Oocytes Vitrified at Germinal Vesicle Stage as Cytoplast Recipients forSomatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)

Background: The cryopreservation of immature oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage would create an easily accessible, nonseasonal source of female gametes for research and reproduction. The present study investigated the ability of ovine oocytes vitrified at the GV stage using a cryoloop to be subsequently matured, fertilized and cultured in vitro to blastocyst-stage embryos.
