Abstract

To produce reconstituted rabbit embryos with fetal fibroblasts, the present study was evaluated the efficiencies of the activation conditions as assessments of subsequent development and chromosome in the embryos. New Zealand White rabbits were used throughout the study. Fetal fibroblasts collected from 22-d of fetuses were cultured in DMEM+10% FBS in 5% CO₂ in air. The culture was maintained for 10 passages. In every passage half of cell suspension were kept in frozen. (omitted)
