Summary

The study showed that with sequential exposure to 6M DMSO, for a vitrification protocol, the least amount of damage to the cytoskeleton was observed using an initial exposure on ice. The use of bovine serum albumin (4 mg/ml) as the protein source in the freezing medium produced the least amount of damage. These results were however not significantly better than with foetal calf serum (5%), as the protein source.
