Effect of timing of oocyte denudation and micro-injection on survival, fertilization and embryo quality after intracytoplasmic sperm injection
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
In human in-vitro fertilization (IVF), the oocytes are surrounded by cumulus and corona cells at the time of insemination so that their maturity cannot easily be evaluated. The best IVF results are obtained if the oocytes are inseminated 2-6 h after retrieval.
