Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the in vitro fertilization rate of canine immature oocytes cryopreserved by vitrification freezing. The vitrification solutions of EPS and EDS were consisted of 40% ethylene glycol 18% Ficoll and 0.3M sucrose, and 20% ethylene glycol, 16.5% DMSO and 0.5M sucrose in TCM-199 medium supplemented with 10% FCS, respectively. The oocytes were exposed The developmental rate of in vitro cultured oocytes recovered from ovaries collected at different stages of the reproductive cycle were 3.8%, 10.7%, 46%, respectively. to EFS or EDS at $25^{\circ}C$ and loaded into straw fer 30 sec. The straws was slowly immersed into L$N_2$. Fertilization and survival rate was defined as development rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. 1. The fertilization rate after vitrification freezing of immature oocytes at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hrs after collection from ovaries was very low(5.3%~31.4%) than the unfrozen oocyte(60.0%). And the fertilization rate after vitrification freezing of immature oocytes was very higher than that of mature oocytes. 2. The survival rate after vitrification freezing of immature oocytes at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hrs after collection from ovaries was 55.0%, 40.0%, 28.6% and 17.1%, respectively. And the survival rate after vitrification freezing of immature oocytes was slightly higher than that of mature oocytes.

본 연구는 소형견의 불임 해결을 위해 미숙난자를 보존 후 이용할 수 있는지의 여부를 판명하기 위하여 미성숙 난포란을 시간별로 배양한 뒤 vitrification 동결 융해후 체외수정율과 생존율을 조사하였다. 1 미숙난포란을 회수 후 1, 6, 12, 24시간 성숙 배양 후vitrification동결 융해 후 체외수정 시켰을때 수정율은 각각 31.4%. 22.5%, 11.9% 및 5.3%로서 대조군의 수정율 60.0%에 비해 낮은 성적이었고, 회수 후 시간이 경과되지 않은 난포란이 높은 체외수정율을 나타냈다. 2. 미숙난포란을 회수 후 1, 6, 12 및 24시간 배양시킨 난포란을 vitrification 동결 융해 후 체외 수정시킨 배의 생존율은 각각 55.0%, 40.0%, 28.6% 및 17.1%로써 대조군의 76.7%에 비해 낮은 생존율을 나타냈다.
