Cumulus cell function during bovine oocyte maturation, fertilization, and embryo development in vitro
1 Mar 1995
Abstract excerpt
Several contemporary micromanipulation techniques, such as sperm microinjection, nuclear transfer, and gene transfer by pronuclear injection, require removal of cumulus cells from oocytes or zygotes at various stages. In humans, the cumulus cells are often removed after 15-18 hr of sperm-oocyte coincubation to assist the identification of the fertilization status. This study was designed to evaluate the function...
