Open pulled straws for vitrification of mature mouse oocytes preserve patterns of meiotic spindles and chromosomes better than conventional straws
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Vitrification of oocytes has been applied recently for humans, but remains elusive. The microtubules of oocytes are vulnerable to cryoprotectants and thermal changes. Using mouse oocytes, the effects of vitrification in open pulled straws (OPS) were investigated on survival, the meiotic spindle, and chromosomes and compared with conventional straws. Mature oocytes were allocated to four groups for exposure to...
