摘要: The objective of the present study was to determine if oocytes vitrified by the open pulled straw (OPS) method could subsequently be used to produce somatic cell cloned cattle. Post-thaw survival rates were 77.0, 79.1, 97.2 and 97.5% for oocytes vitrified with EDFS30 (15% ethylene glycol, 15% dimethyl sulfoxide, ficoll and sucrose), EDFS40 (20% ethylene glycol, 20% dimethyl sulfoxide, ficoll and sucrose), EDFSF30 (15% ethylene glycol, 15% dimethyl sulfoxide, ficoll, sucrose and FBS) and EDFSF40 (20% ethylene glycol, 20% dimethyl sulfoxide, ficoll, sucrose and FBS), respectively. The parthenogenetic blastocyst rates of the vitrified-thawed oocytes activated with 5 microM of the calcium ionophore A23187 for 5 min and 2 microM of 6-dimethylaminopurin (6-DMAP) for 4h ranged from 10.3 to 23.0%, with the highest group not significantly differing from that of the controls (33.2%). In total, 722 vitrified-thawed oocytes were used as recipients for nuclear transfer, of which 343 fused (47.6%). Fifty-six (16.3%) of the reconstructed embryos reached the blastocyst stage after 7d of in vitro culture. Twenty-four blastocysts derived from vitrified-thawed oocytes were transferred to six Luxi yellow cattle recipients. Two recipients (33%) were diagnosed pregnant; one aborted 97 d after transfer, whereas the other delivered a cloned calf after 263 d. As a control, 28 synchronous Luxi yellow cattle recipients each received a single blastocyst produced using a fresh oocyte as a nuclear recipient; 10 recipients were diagnosed pregnant, of which 6 (21.4% of the original 28) delivered cloned calves. In conclusion, bovine oocytes vitrified by the OPS method and subsequently thawed supported development (to term) of somatic cell cloned embryos.
