History and perspectives on bovine embryo transfer

نویسنده

چکیده

On a worldwide basis, more than 750,000 embryos are produced annually from superovulated donors and more than 450,000 embryos are produced using in vitro techniques. Superovulation and embryo collection are done as frequently as every 30 days. Cryopreservation and direct transfer of frozen-thawed embryos results in pregnancy rates near that of fresh embryos. Since the zona pellucida-intact in vivo-produced bovine embryo can be made specified pathogen-free by washing procedures, thousands of frozen embryos are marketed internationally on an annual basis. In vitro embryo production is used widely in countries like Brazil and Japan. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is currently being used for sexing embryos, and this technology is beginning to be used for “embryo diagnostics” and “embryo genomics”. Sex-sorted bovine semen is also readily available and is being used increasingly, especially for in vitro embryo production.

P-115: Melatonin Increases Developmental Rate of In Vitro Mouse Somatic Cell Nuclear

Background: The beneficial effect of supplementing culture medium with melatonin has been reported during in vitro embryo development of species such as mouse, bovine and porcine. However, the effect of melatonin on the mouse somatic cell nuclear transfer remained unknown. Materials and Methods: In this study, we assessed the effects of various concentrations of melatonin (10-6 to 10-12 M) on t...

I-5: Fifteen Years after Dolly: The Perspectives on Cellular Reprogramming

s:1202:"It is a truly amazing time to developmental biology. During recent decades, three important breakthroughs have been developed: (i) isolation of stem cells from embryo, (ii) animal cloning by nuclear transfer (NT), and (iii) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Considering these three approaches of "Cellular Reprogramming", it seems that the required elements for cell therapy now ex...

Highly Efficient In Vitro Production of Bovine Blastocyst in Cell-Free Sequential Synthetic Oviductal Fluid vs. TCM199 Vero Cell Co-Culture System

Background The aim of this study was to establish a cell-free sequential culture system that can support high levels of in vitro embryo development and blastocyst formation from bovine zygotes. To this end, this investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of glucose, serum and EDTA on bovine zygote in vitro development. MaterialsAndMethods Bovine presumptive zygotes were derived from ...
