Factors affecting the in vitro action of cumulus cells on the maturing mouse oocytes
17 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The removal of cumulus cells (CCs) from oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage still represents a major limitation in such embryo techniques as GV transfer, somatic cell haploidization, and oocyte cryopreservation. However, no efficient in vitro maturation (IVM) system for CC-denuded oocytes (DOs) has been established in mammalian species. Although follicular cells are considered to play an important role in...
