Leukaemia inhibitory factor significantly enhances the blastocyst formation rates of human embryos cultured in serum-free medium
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) on human blastocyst formation rates in vitro. To do this, it was first necessary to devise a complex serum-free medium (CSFM) in which to test its activity. Blastocyst formation rates in CSFM microdrops (18.4%) showed no difference to those obtained previously for embryos cultured in 1 ml T6 medium containing 10% serum (25%)....
