background: this study was undertaken to investigate the efficiency of two different embryo somatic cell co-culture conditions tissue culture medium 199 (tcm199)–vero cells and menezo b2 (b2)-vero cells for the in vitro developmental quantity and quality of bovine embryos. materials and methods: bovine oocytes were allowed to mature and subsequently undergo fertilization in vitro. their presump...

The titration curve for the virus of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis inoculated into the 10 day old chick embryo shows that the maximum increase in virus content continues until shortly before the generalized destruction of the embryo is apparent. This is followed by a stationary phase. Histological studies of infected embryos fail to demonstrate selective tissue destruction, and titrations sh...

Communication is central to life at all levels of complexity, from cells to organs, through to organisms and communities. Turtle eggs were recently shown to communicate with each other in order to synchronise their development and generate beneficial hatching synchrony. Yet the mechanism underlying embryo to embryo communication remains unknown. Here we show that within a clutch, developing sna...

Direct evidence that IGF-I has any significant effect on embryo growth is lacking. We therefore studied the effect of administration of IGF-I on the chick embryo in ovo. Five hundred ng pure IGF-I (purified from human plasma) were given to chick embryos on 2 occasions (7 and 14 d) by injection directly into the allantoic sac. Treated and control (saline injected) chicks hatched on the same day ...

We have evaluated the safety of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) procedures by using bovine zygotes. Bovine zygotes were injected with a small amount (2-3 pl) of either medium alone or medium containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (sham-ICSI, without spermatozoon) using the same procedure as ICSI, and the subsequent in-vitro embryonic development and embryo quality (number of cells/blastoc...

Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) plays an essential role during cell differentiation and implantation in the mouse exerting its effects via the two dimerizing receptor subunits glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and LIF-receptor beta (LR-beta). This study investigated the mRNA expression of bovine LIF (bLIF), gp130 and LR-beta in pooled or individual bovine oocytes and embryos generated in vitro or in v...

The objective was to determine cryotolerance of in vitro cultured rabbit embryos to the open-pulled straw (OPS) method. Overall, 844 rabbit embryos at pronuclear, 2- to 4-cell, 8-cell, and morula/blastocyst stages were vitrified, and ≥ 1 mo later, were sequentially warmed, rehydrated, and subjected to continuous culture (n = 691) or embryo transfer (ET, n = 153). Embryos vitrified at the 8-cell...

BACKGROUND Hatching is an important process for early embryo development, differentiation and implantation. However, little is known about its regulatory mechanisms. By integrating the technologies of RNA amplification and cDNA microarrays, it has become possible to study the gene expression profile at this critical stage. METHODS Pre-hatched and hatched ICR mouse embryos (25 blastocysts in e...
