This study was conducted to determine the optimal DC voltage for NT of in vivo donor embryo nuclei and investigate the effect of donor embryo guality on fusion and in vitro development of NT embryos . Recpient oocytes were enucleated 25~27h after IVM and further cuitured for 18~20h prior to fusion for oocyte aging. Donor embryos of molura stage were recovered from superovulated heifers and classified l into good and low quality group. Their nuclei were transferred in to the emucleated oocytes 42~44h post-IVM and fused 43-45h post-IVM with a single 0.75kV /cm or 1.0kV /cm DC voltage for 70${\mu}\textrm{A}$sec. The fusion rate of oocytes was not different between two DC voltages. However, the cleavage and M + B developmnent was more high at 1.0kV /cm DC voltage and the proportion of M+B was 19.0% at 0.75kV /cm DC and 29.4% at 1.0kV /cm DC voltage. Donor embryo qualtiy did not greatly affect the fusion and cleavage of NT oocytes, but none of NT embryos derived from low embryo quatity reached the morula stage. The results indicate that the most suitable DC v voltage for electrofusion of in vivo donor muclei was a single 1.0kV /cm DC voltage and donor embryo quality was an important factor affecting the development in vitro of NT embryos.

Porcine zygotes medium(PZM) 은 5%의 산소조건에서 체내생산 된 돼지초기수정란의 배 발달을 증가시킨다고 보고되었다 (Yoshioka 등, Biol. Reprod., 66:112-119, 2002). 본 실험에서는 NCSU23, PZM3 및 PZM4 의 배양액과 5% 및 20%의 산소조건이 돼지 체외수정란의 배 반포기까지 체외발달에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. (중략)

The effects of cytochalasin B was studied for the cleavage and development of in vitro matured porcine follicular oocytes. The follicular oocytes were collected from slaughtered pig ovaries and matured for 65 hours. The matured oocytes were activated by 7% ethanol(v/v) in DPBS and the activated oocytes were subjected to cytochalasin B concentrations of 2.5, 5.0 and $7.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 3, 5 and 7 hours, and then the treated oocytes were cultured in NCSU23 with 0.4% BSA for 7 days. The cleavage rates were not different significantly in each treatment. However, the oocytes treated with $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 5 hours yielded a significantly higher morula rate(19.7%) than oocytes treated with $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 3 and 5 hours(9.4%). The sum rate of $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration(10.5%) by hour was also significantly lower than those of 5.0(18.0%) and $7.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration(14.6%). The blastocyst rate in oocytes treated with $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 3(9.4%) and 5 hours(9.0%) was significantly higher than the rate in oocytes treated with $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 3 hours(0%). The sum rate of $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration also significantly higher than those of 2.5 and $7.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. The results demonstrated that the treatment of oocytes with cytochalasin B of $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ for $3{\sim}5$ hours was the optimal concentration and duration for parthenogenetic activation and blastocyst formation of in vitro matured porcine oocytes.

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD) on in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine follicular oocytes and oxygen concentration with SOD on in vitro development (IVD) of porcine IVM/IVF embryos. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The rates of nuclear maturation, penetrated oocytes, polyspermic oocytes and mean numbers of the penetrated sperm were not different in the NCSU-23 maturation media with 0, 100, 500 and 1,000 units/ml SOD. However. the pronucleus formation rates were significantly lower in oocytes matured with addition groups than those of no addition groups of SOD (P>0.05). 2. The rates of blastocyst formation and total cell numbers of blastocyst at day 7 after in vitro fertilization were significantly lower in addition groups than those of the no addition groups of SOD (P>0.05). 3. The rates of blastocyst formation at day 7 after in vitro fertilization were higher in the NCSU-23 culture medium with 100 units/ml SOD than in those cultured with 0, 500 and 1,000 units/ml SOD under the 5% and 20% $O_2$concentrations. However, no differences was found in the total cell numbers of blastocyst among the treatments. In conclusion, these results suggested that the addition of SOD was not adequate for porcine oocyte maturation and further development, also the rates of blastocyst formation and total cell numbers of blastocyst at day 7 of porcine IVM/IVF embryos were not different in the NCSU-23 culture medium under the 5% and 20% $O_2$concentrations.

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) was selected over 24 generations with fenvalerate. The resulting resistant strain was tested to study development of insecticide resistance and cross resistance to some insecticides in the laboratory. Insecticide resistance of diamondback moth at the 24th generation devleoped 66.2 fold compared to the parent strain for fenvalerate. The fenvalerate selected strain exhibited 145 fold, a high level of cross resistance to deltamethrin, and also showed 17.4-45.0 fold cross resistance to alphamethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, and tetramethrin in the pyrethroid insecticides. The fenvalerate selected strain showed 2.5-4.3 fold, low cross resistance to diazinon, dichlorvos, EPN, BPMC, cabaryl, and methomyl. However, it did not show cross resistance to acephate, fenitrothion, phenthoate, and carbofuran.

오늘날 형질전환동물의 생산과 같은 생명공학기술의 발달로 인하여 우리나라 재래산양은 그 모델동물로서 번식 생리학적으로 매우 중요한 가치를 지니고 있을 뿐만 아니라 고유의 유전자원 보존 측면에서도 산양복제와 같은 다양한 연구가 절실히 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 생명공학기술의 기초자료를 제공하고자 난포란의 활성화 방법과 단위발생란의 체외발달율을 조사하였다. 성숙한 미경산 재래산양을 공시동물로 하여 CIDR를 이용하여 발정동기화를 시켰으며, 과배란 처리는 FSH와 hCG를 이용하여 과배란 처리를 실시하였고 난포란의 회수는 외과적 방법으로 개복하여 난소의 난포로부터 난자와 난포액을 흡입하여 회수하였다 난포란의 활성화 처리는 전기자극법과 약물처리 방법을 사용하였으며, 전기자극방법은 DC 2.36㎸/cm, 17$\mu$sec 전압으로 1회 전기자극을 가하여 활성화를 유도하였으며, 약물처리법은 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 ionomycin 용액에서 5min, 1.9mM 6-DMAP용액에서 4시간동안 처리하여 활성화를 유도하였다. 단위발생란의 배양은 10% GS(goat serum)가 첨가된 M16 배양액과 10% FBS가 첨가된 TCM-199 배양액에서 난관상피세포와 6~7일동안 공배양을 실시하면서 체외발달율을 조사하였다. 활성화 방법에 따른 체외발달율은 전기자극 및 약물처리를 하였을때 분할율은 3.1% 및 67.9%였으며, 상실배 및 배반포로의 발달율은 0% 및 7.9%였다. 단위발생란의 체외 발달율은 10% GS가 첨가된 M16 배양액을 사용하였을 때 분할율은 68.0%였으며, 이중 12.0%가 상실배 또는 배반포로 발달하였다. 뿐만 아니라 10% FBS가 첨가된 TCM-199 배양액에 난관상피세포와 공배양을 실시하였을 경우는 72.0%가 분할하였으며, 이중 16.7%가 상실배 또는 배반포로 발달하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 활성화 처리는 ionomycin과 6-DMAP 용액처리가 적합하며, 단위발생란의 체외배양은 보다 적합한 배양조건의 확립이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

Mammalian eggs are ovulated arrested at meiotic metaphase II until fertilization. Generally in mammals, fertilization results in a series of intracellular calcium oscillations that are mediated by inositol triphosphate (IP$^3$) or cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPr). The high levels of maturation promotion factor (MPF) within the cell decrease, pronuclei form, the cytoskeleton is reorganized and proteins are post-translationally modified. If all is normal, the newly formed embryo initiates the developmental program specific to that species. Artificial methods of producing these effects in pig oocytes are discussed. One potential mechanism mediated via a signal transduction pathway is present in pig oocytes. Stimulation of this pathway leads to the early events following fertilization, and electrical stimulation leads to apparently normal de v velopment to day 12. Further studies are needed to determine which mechanism(s) the sperm uses to initiate development.

체외성숙과 수정된 돼지 난자의 체외발달능이 체외배발생 배양액인 NCSU 배양액에 0.4% BSA, 10% 혈청 혹은 아미노산(2% BME 아미노산 용액과 1% MEM 아미노산 용액)을 첨가함으로써 조사되었다. 본 실험에 공시된 난자는 체외수정 후 30시간 (2-세포기) 혹은 48시간 (2~4-세포기)에 회수하였다. 실험 I에서 0.4% BSA가 첨가된 NCSU 배양액에서 2-세포기 난자들의 배양경과시간에 따른 발달능을 조사한 결과, 배양 후 72시간 (체외수정 후 102 시간)에 상실배와 배반포기가 나타났으며, 배양 후 120시간째(체외수정 후 150시간)에도 팽창된 배반포까지만 발달하였다. 실험 II는 체외수정 후 48시간의 분할된(2~8-세포기) 난자들의 핵과 외관적 분할구와의 수적 차이를 조사한 결과, 2~4-세포기보다는 5-세포기 이상에서 핵과 분할구의 조화에 차이가 많았다. 실험III에서는 BSA, 혈청 혹은 아미노산이 첨가 혹은 무첨가된 배양액내에서 2~4-세포기 난자들의 배반포 후 부화능력을 조사한 결과, 모든 군에 있는 난자들은 팽창된 배반포까지 발달할 수 있었던 반면, 난자의 부화는 아미노산 혹은 혈청이 포함된 배양액에서만 일어났다. 더욱이 상실배와 배반포시기에 혈청의 첨가는 부화 배반포기 배의 발달을 현저히 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 배양액내에 대한 아미노산과 혈청의 첨가는 돼지 배반포의 부화를 유도할 수 있다고 본다.
