Type of article: Article
Summary
Survival rates on thawing were assessed for ultrarapidly frozen mouse oocytes following the removal of zonae pellucidae using an acid Tyrode's solution, pronase or a mechanical dissection technique. The results support the hypothesis that increased survival of ultrarapidly frozen pronuclear stage embryos is the result of changes to the plasma membrane and/or to the zona pellucida that occur following fertilization.
