Summary

THE OBJECTIVEOF THE STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE SEVERAL PARAMETERS THAT INFLUENCE THE CRYOBEHAVIOUR OF IMMATURE BOVINE OOCYTES. WHEN OOCYTES WERE COOLED AT 0.06 AND 0.24 K/S IN BUFFERED SOLUTIONS, THE MEAN TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INTRACELLULAR ICE FORMATION OCCURRED WAS 260 AND 259 K (-13 AND -14 DEG C), RESPECTIVELY. THE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION FOR INTRACELLULAR ICE FORMATION TEMPERATURES OF OOCYTES EXHIBITING IIF WAS ADEQUATELY DESCRIBED BY THE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION, WHOSE PARAMETERS CHARACTERIZE THE MEAN AND VARIANCE IN IIF TEMPERATURE AND THEIR DEPENDENCE ON COOLING RATE AND SUSPENDING MEDIUM.
