Summary

HOUSEFLY EMBRYOS OF VARIOUS AGES WERE COOLED TO 253 K (-20 DEG C) IN THE PRESENCE OF DMSO AS A CRYOPROTECTANT. EXPERIMENTS USING A VARIETY OF COOLING AND WARMING RATES SHOWED THE BEST SURVIVAL OCCURRED IN 7 TO 10 HOUR OLD EMBRYOS COOLED AT 0.6 OR 1.0 K/MIN. THIS BROAD AGE GROUP REPRESENTS EMBRYOS IN THE PROCESS OF ORGANOGENESIS. FACTORS AFFECTING SURVIVAL AND SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE DISCUSSED.
