Impaired active demethylation of the paternal genome in pronuclear‐stage rat zygotes produced by in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection
9 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to investigate the effect of in vitro production systems of rat zygotes such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on demethylation dynamics of the paternal genome. Immunostaining with anti-5-methylcytosine indicated that in vivo derived zygotes harvested at 20 hr post-hCG injection had no active demethylation of paternal genomes as a mean relative...
