Abstract
Frozen storage of rabbit embryos at the 16-cell stage in 2.0 M dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was achieved by a 2-step procedure. After storage for 10 days at -196 degrees C they were revived by rapidly thawing at 500 degrees C/min. On transfer of these embryos to pseudopregnant foster mothers, 50% survived to term. The difference in in vivo survival between frozen-thawed and frozen-thawed-cultured embryos was not significant.Entities:
