Effects of the Additives in the Medium for In Vitro Culture of Mouse Embryos

배양액 첨가제가 마우스 초기배의 체외배양에 미치는 효과

These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects and optimal concentrations of RPMI 1640 amino acids, MEM vitamins and human follicular fluid(hFF) as additives in the medium for in vitro culture of mouse embryos. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 54.5%, 65.4%, 48.2%, 57.4% and 35.5% when the medium was added to 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of RPMI 1640 amino acid and control, respectively. The addition of 0.5% RPMI 1640 amino acid was the best concentration. 2. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 22.4%, 31.3%, 21.9%, 19.0% adn 12.8% when the medium was added to 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of MEM vitamin and control, respectively. The addition of 0.5% MEM vitamin was the best concentration. 3. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 20.9%, 21.9%, 18.9%, 29.4% and 20.6% when the medium was added to 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% of hFF and control, respectively.

본 실험은 마우스 초기배의 체외배양에 있어서 배양액 첨가제로서 기초배양액에 RPMI 1640 아미노산, MEM 비타민 및 사람의 성숙 난포액(hFF)을 각각 5가지의 농도로 구분하여 첨가했을 경우, 각 첨가제가 배 발달에 미치는 영향과 각 첨가제의 적정 첨가농도를 검토하고자 수행하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 배양액에 RPMI 1640 아미노산을 무첨가, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% 및 2%의 농도로 첨가했을 때 배반포 발생율은 각각 35.5%, 54.5%, 65.4%, 48.2% 및 57.4%로 나타났으며, 0.5% 첨가구에서 유의하게 높았다. 2. 배양액에 MEM 비타민을 무첨가, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% 및 2%의 농도로 첨가했을 때 배반포 발생율은 각각 12.8%, 22.4%, 31.1%, 21.9% 및 19.0%로 나타났으며, 0.5% 첨가구에서 유의하게 높았다. 3. 배양액에 hFF를 무첨가 2.5%, 5%, 10% 및 20%의 농도로 첨가했을 때 배반포 발생율은 각각 20.6%, 20.9%, 21.2%, 18.9% 및 29.4%로 나타났으며, 20% 첨가구에서 가장 높았다.
