Résumé

The effect of different macromolecules [bovine serum albumin (SBA), Pluronic F-68, (ET surfactant), or sodium hyaluronate (SH)] on postthaw survival of mouse morulae and in vivo- and in vitro-derived bovine blastocysts frozen in 10, 5, or 1% glycerol solutions was investigated. Embryos were equilibrated with cryoprotectant solution at 25 °C for 10 min, seeded at -5 °C, cooled at 0.5 °C/min to -35 °C, and plunged into liquid nitrogen. Embryos were thawed in a 35 °C water bath, glycerol was removed with 0.6 M sucrose at 25 °C for 5 min, and postthaw viability was evaluated after 1, 24, and 48 h. The addition of BSA supplementation improved postthaw survival of mouse morulae frozen in 5% glycerol, but not in 10% glycerol. All three macromolecular supplements were effective in increasing survival of mouse morulae in 5% glycerol but only BSA and SH were effective in increasing postthaw survival of in vivo- and in vitro-derived bovine blastocysts. None of the macromolecular supplements improved postthaw survival of embryos frozen in 1% glycerol.
