Collection of superovulated mouse oocytes continuously by surgery and their development after activation

摘要

Objective: To establish a new way to collect superovulated oocytes or zygotes repeatedly from an individual mouse. Methods: Superovulations were induced by injection PMSG and hCG in Kunming strain mice. The ampullaes of oviduct of all anaesthetised mouse were put in a specially designed "U" sink and released. The second and third times of PMSG injection were made on the sixth day and eleventh day after the first superovulation injection. The capacity of development was examined by in vitro culture of parthenogenesis activation oocytes. Results: Development to blastocyst stage was not significantly different between the first and second time collection. The percentage of blastocyst stage in CD and Sr++ treatment was significantly higher (P＜0.05) than the oocytes treated in CB and Sr++. Conclusion: This method enables us to collect oocytes or zygotes repeatedly from one individual mouse in an interval as short as 5 days and without influence on the quality of oocytes.
