The oocytes were then observed for in vitro maturation, fertilization, cleavage and blastula formation and the ultrastructural changes after the culture with the viruses. Our results showed that no significant differences were found in IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation among the groups treated with of virus of various dosages. And ultrastructural abnormality was observed in the oocytes treated by 100 TCID50 of viruses. It is concluded that MCMV did not have any conspicuous effects on IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation of murine immature oocytes.展开更多

The nuclei ofblastula cells were brought into the cytoplasm of therecipient eggs, where they promoted the development of the fused eggs just like the zygote nuclei.But the development of the fused eggs was different from that of zygotes. Several nuclei might enterone and the same egg simultaneously and all of them could undergo division, resulting in severalblastomere after the first cleavage of the recipient egg. Before blastula stage, the embryo developingfrom the fused egg showcd irregular shape, but it was soon regulated and developed to a normalblastula which often continued its development into a normal individual. Cell/egg electrofusion cameto its highest fosion rate (80%) 8nd hatching rate (20%), with cell density at 1×10~3 cells/ml, Ca^(++)concentration at 10 mM, mannitol at 0.2 M and when the blastula cells were digested with 100μg/ml pronase E for 6-10 min at 20℃. The mechanism underlying development of electrofused eggsis discussed. As the result indicates, electrofusion might prove to be a promising biotechnology justas nuclear transplantation.展开更多
