목적: 유리화 동결액의 조성조절과 냉각속도 증진을 통한 동결보호제의 농도를 낮추는 전략을 통해 세포에 미치는 독성을 감소시켜 유리화 동결 및 융해 후 생쥐 배아의 생존율 및 발생률을 증진시키고, 궁극적으로 배아의 유리화 동결법을 개선하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 생쥐 배아와 포배기를 그리드를 이용한 유리화 동결법을 이용하여 동결/융해하였다. 동결액 내 ethylene glycol와 dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO)의 농도와 당의 농도를 조절하여 생쥐 배아의 융해 후 생존율과 발생률을 관찰하였고, 냉각속도의 증가와 동결억제제의 농도와의 상관관계를 포배기의 융해 후 생존율과 발생률에 따라 비교하였다. 또한 융해 후 배아를 대리모에 이식하여 산자를 생산함으로 냉각속도의 효율성을 알아보았다. 결과: EG를 단독으로 사용한 동결보존액 보다는 DMSO와 혼합된 동결보존액의 사용이 보다 유리하다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 슬러시 질소에 의한 냉각속도의 증가가 동결보존의 대상의 상해를 줄여 유리화 동결의 효율성을 증진시키는 것으로 생각된다. 결론: 혼합된 동결보호제를 사용하였을 때 생쥐 배아의 유리화 동결 후 생존과 발생률이 증진되었다. 슬러시 질소를 이용한 유리화 동결의 도입은 냉각속도의 증가를 통해 기존 유리화 동결방법의 효율을 증진시켜 생존율과 융해후 발생률, 임신율 증진에 기여하였다. 또한 냉각속도의 증진은 유리화 동결의 필수요건인 고농도의 동결억제제에 대한 노출을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 노력은 생식력의 보전을 위한 유리화 동결법의 효율 향상에 기여할 것이다.

Two experiments in this study were designed to compare the potential for in vitro capacitation and in vitro fertilization of ejaculated sperm among individual rabbit bucks. In experiment 1, for in vitro capacitation, the ejaculated sperm were preincubated in DM for 12 hr or 18 hr after HIS treatment, then 12 hr -or 18 hr- preincubated sperm were incubated with superovulated rabbit ova in a 5% CO2 incubator for 36 hr at 38$^{\circ}C$, and a part of cleaved ova was transferred to the recipient does for implantation of embryo. In experiment 2, effect of lysolecithin addition to preincubation medium on induction of accelerated in vitro capacitation and in vitro fertilization of individual rabbit sperm was studied. Experiment 1; 1. Percent acrosome reaction of sperm, noted after staining, after 12 hr or 18 hr preincubation ranged from 52.5 to 76.0% and from 67.5 to 90.0%, respectively and sperm motility index of these sperm ranged from 20.0 to 47.5 for 12 hr-preincubated sperm and from 15.0 to 37.5 for 18 hr- preincubated sperm. There was no a certain relation between percent acrosome reaction and sperm motility index. 2. In vitro fertilization rate (cleavage rate) of in vitro capacitated sperm varied widely among individual bucks, ranging from 0 to 47.8% for 12 hr - preincubated sperm and from 0 to 60.9% for 18 hr -prein- cubated sperm. Cleavage rate of 18 hr - preincubated sperm was higher and faster than that of 12 hr - preincubated sperm. 3. Eight of 44 in vitro fertilized embryos transferred into 6 recipients were implanted in 4 recipients (66.7%) up to day 15 and implnatation rate was 18.2%. Experiment 2; 1. The percent acrosome reaction of sperm before and after 4 hr preincubation in DM without lysolecithin varied significantly among individual bucks, ranging from 0.4 to 18.4% and from 1.7 to 37.4%, respectively and percent acrosome reaction of sperm at 30 min after addition of 60${\mu}$g/ml lysolecithin also was significantly different among bucks, ranging from 19.2 to 67.1%. 2. Effect of accelerated acrosome reaction following lysolecithin addition was more considerable in the individuals showed less percent acrosome reaction before and after 4 hr preincubation. Percentage of motile sperm and motility score showed a trendency towards a decrease with increase of preincubation time and time after lysolecithin addition. 3. In vitro fertilization rate (cleavage rate) at 24 hr postinesmination with pooled sperm were treated to 60 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml lysolecithin for 30 min after 4 hr preincubation was 24.6%, a higher rate than 13.2% for control. While 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml lysolecithin-added sperm showed a lower cleavage than control and 60$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml-added sperm at both 24 hr and 48 hr postinsemination. These results from 2 experiments suggest that more useful preincubation time for the in vitro capacitation of ejaculated rabbit sperm is 18 hr in DM after HIS treatment, although there is wide variation in vitro capacitation and in vitro fertilization rate among individual bucks, and lysolecithin addition to at least 4 hr - preincubated sperm in DM can result in almost same in vitro fertilization rate as that of 18 hr - preincubated sperm in the experiment 1.
