Status of conventional cryopreservation of mammalian embryos and oocytes.

Author(s) : HOSOI Y.

Type of article: Article

Summary

For mice, cattle and a few other species, the vast majority of embryos cryopreserved for experimental or commercial applications make use of morulablastocysts stages, and have been cryopreserved by controlled-rate freezing and thawing. In contrast, oocytes, early embrionic stages and porcine embryos at all developments stages have not been successfully cryopreserved or have yielded very low survival rates. The author primarily describes progress in cryopreservation by conventional cooling-rate methods, the current status regarding embryos of domestic species, and directions for further research.
