ASSAY FOR DETERMINING IMPLANTATION POTENTIAL OF EMBRYOS AND METHOD FOR ASSISTED FERTILISATION

摘要

An assay for determining for a female subject the implantation potential of embryos obtained or to be obtained by assisted fertilisation by measuring, for a plurality of ooctyes collected from said subject, the level of follicular fluid granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) present in the follicular fluid (FF) of a follicle of each collected oocyte; and determining from the levels of FF G-CSF measured, the implantation potentials of the embryos obtained or to be obtained by assisted fertilisation of the oocytes. The invention also relates to a method for assisted fertilisation of a female subject A method for assisted fertilisation of a female subject by collecting a plurality of oocytes from said subject, determining the implantation potential for an embryo derived from each oocyte, fertilising the oocytes to obtain embryos, and implanting the embryos having a high implantation potential.
