Summary

The recovery of viable follicles from cryopreserved ovarian tissue would be of benefit in many areas of assisted reproduction. Structural integrity needs to be maintained following cryopreservation of ovarian tissue in order to retrieve healthy follicles which can then be cultured in vitro to produce viable oocytes. The authors have assessed the effect of in vitro culture of bovine tissue for 0, 1, 4, 24, or 48 h after exposure to, or cryopreservation in, DMSO. The data obtained indicate that it is possible to freeze/thaw bovine ovarian tissue while retaining a reasonable yield of morphologically intact follicles and that a short period of post-thaw culture may enhance follicle recovery.
