High Rates of Survival and Fertilization of Mouse and Hamster Oocytes after Vitrification in Dimethylsulphoxide1
1 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
A high proportion (> 70%) of mouse and hamster oocytes exposed for 3-5 min to 1.5 M dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and washed briefly in 3.9 M DMSO before vitrification in 6.0 M DMSO appeared morphologically normal on recovery. Significantly fewer (< 46%) mouse oocytes appeared normal when the time of exposure to 1.5 M DMSO was reduced to 1 min or less. The rate of fertilization in vitro of vitrified oocytes was...
