Developmental incompetency of denuded mouse oocytes undergoing maturation in vitro is ooplasmic in nature and is associated with aberrant Oct-4 expression
7 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes constitute a potential resource but their developmental competence is questionable especially when surrounding cumulus cells are removed. The intercellular factors/mechanisms underlying such poor embryonic competence may originate at a nuclear and/or ooplasmic level. METHODS: Immature or mature oocytes were obtained from three mouse strains following pregnant mare serum...
