The objective of this study was to determine the developmental competence of in vitro matured bovine oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) with frozen-thawed epididymal spermatozoa. The ovaries were obtained from slaughtered Korean native cows. Oocytes matured in vitro for 24 hrs were fertilized by ICSI with frozen-thawed epididymal spermatozoa. After ICSI, one group of oocytes was activated with 7% ethanol for 5 min, and second group was not activated. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 medium containing hormones and 10% FCS for 24-30 hrs in a incubator with 5% CO₂ in air at 38.5℃. (omitted)

Immatured bovine follicular oocytes added with serum, hormones, granulosa cells and bovine oviduct epithelium cells were fertilized in vitro after in vitro maturation. In vitro maturation and early development capacity were examined and IVF-derived embryos were transferred and to recipients and effects of sperm treatment on in vitro capacitation were investigated. The rate of in vitro maturation was improved when they were co-culutred with granulosa cells in the TCM199 medium added with 10% FCS and hormones. The percentage of acrosome reaction was not differed between sperm treatments and sperm of above 25% under-went AR during 30 min preincubation with caffeine and heparin. The cleavage rate of oocytes in vitro fertilized in TCM199 medium added with 10% FCS and hormones, GC or BOEG higher than that in medium with 10% FCS and GC. But the rate was not significantly different between GC and BOEG The cleavage of rate oocytes cultured in medium containing serum, hormones and BOEG was 80.2% and more embryos were developed to Blastocyst (17.3%). The selected embryos were transferred to 9 recipients by surgical or nonsurgical method but did not result in pregnancy.

Heat stress to bovine oocytes and embryos has suggested a potential role of retardation of their development. Limited study has reported on the effect of heat shock on sperm before using it for IVF. Caudal epididymal sperm cultured in 42$^{\circ}C$ incubator for 0.5, 1 and 2 h compared on sperm viability and oocyte development after its use for IVF to those of control. Oocytes were matured for 22 h and then inseminated with treated or control sperm for 16 h. Embryos were cultured in CRlaa medium, transferred to TCM199＋10% FBS on day 4, and maintained on day 9. A higher proportion (84.1%, 0.5 h; 72%, 1 h: 65%, 2 h) in treated sperm was observed dead and abnormal pattern as 100% of consider as control. In control the rates of cleavage and development into blastocyst were 76% and 22%, respectively, and did not differ the rates between 1 h and 2 h of culture. Significant differences were appeared in the rates between treated for an hour and control (32% and 5% vs. 54% and 10%, respectively). Moreover increased time of culture is more retardation to be cleaved the oocytes. However, the rates of blastocyst from cleaved embryos in treated group similar to control (25% vs. 29%, respectively). The reason for this remains unclear, but male sperm, from preliminary experiment(data un-shown) for sexing of resulting embryos, would be more fragility on heat stress.

This study was carried out to investigate the factors affecting fertilization in vitro of follicular oocytes with frozen-thawed spermatozoa in Korean Native Cattle. The bovine ovaries were obtained at a slaughter house and the follicular oocytes were recovered by aspirating the follicular fluid from the visible follicles of 3~6mm. The bovine oocytes were matured in vitro for 20~24 hours in TCM-199 containing FCS and hormones. The matured oocytes were fertilized in vitro using Percoll-separated frozen-thawed spermatozoa in BO solution. The effects of dilution and fertilization media, capacitating method, concentration of inseminated sperm and time after insemination of fertilization, were observed. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The fertilization rate of frozen-thawed sperm inseminated in BO solution with caffeine and heparin together(56.4%) was higher than that of sperm inseminated in BO solution with either caffeine(10.5%) or heparin(8.9%) and without both caffeine and heparin(0%)(P<0.05). 2. The fertilization rate(56.3%) of frozen-thawed sperm inseminated in BO solution with both caffeine and heparin without preincubation was higher than that of sperm preincubated(2.9%)(P<0.05). 3. The fertilization with high concentration of frozen-thawed sperm(1.4~1.8$\times$107cells/ml) in BO solution containing caffeine and heparin resulted in higher fertilization rate, 76.7%, than the low concentration of sperm(0.8~1.0$\times$107cells/ml), 32.7%(P<0.01). 4. When the oocytes were inseminated with frozen-thawed sperm in BO solution containing caffeine and heparin without preincubation, fertilization rate increased by time and the rates were 5.9, 46.0 and 59.4% at 8, 16 and 24 hours, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of heparin, CSA and PC12 on sperm motility and acrosome reaction in bovine fresh and frozen semen which were washed and incubated in mTALP, and also the effect of heparin-pretreatment on motility and acrosome reaction in mTALP, and also the effect of heparin-pretreatment on motility and acrosome reaction of sperm treated with PC12, and the results obtained were as follows : 1. When fresh sperm was once washed and then incubated for 15 minutes in mTALP containing heparin 1, heparin 2, CSA and PC12, the percent of motile sperm of PC12 was significantly lower than that of control, heparin 1, heparin 2 and CSA. But the percent of acrosomereacted sperm of PC12 was signifciantly higher than that of control, heparin 1, heparin 2, and CSA. 2. When frozen sperm was once washed and then incubated for 15 minutes in mTALP containing heparin 1, heparin 2, CSA and PS12, there was no significant difference in the percent of motile sperm among treatments, but the percent of acrosome-reacted sperm of PC12 was signifciantly higher than that of heparin 2, and there was no significant difference in the percent of acrosome-reacted sperm among control, heparin and CSA. 3. When fresh sperm was twice washed and then incubated for 15 minutes in mTALP containing heparin and PC12, there was no significant differrence in the percent of motile sperm among treatments, but the percent of acrosome-reacted sperm of PC12 was significantly higher than that of control and heparin. When the sperm was incubated for 120 minutes, the percent of motile sperm of PC12 was significantly lower than that of control and heparin, but the percent of acrosome-reacted sperm of PC12 was significantly higher than that of control and heparin. 4. When fresh sperm was twice washed and preincubated in mTALP containing heparin for 0, 15, 120, and 240 minutes, and then incubated with PC12 for 15 minutes, there was no significant difference in the perce수 of motile sperm among treatments, but the percent of acrosome-reacted sperm of 120 and 240 minutes was significantly higher than that of 0 and 15 minutes.

In this study I report that in vitro development rates of bovine nuclear transfer embryos activated either with boar sperm cytosolic factor (SCF) or with ionomycin followed by cycloheximide (CHX) and subsequent in vivo developmental rates after embryo transfer are related to blastocyst quality as evaluated by apoptosis analysis. SCF was extracted from porcine semen then purified for post-activation injection after nuclear transfer. The optimal timing for SCF injection was determined to be at least 22 h post-IVM for parthenogenetic activation of bovine oocyies. A total of 364 oocytes were successfully enucleated and 268 (73.6%) fused and were injected with SCF. The survival rate of fused and injected embryos was 109/113 (96.5%) after 2 h. The cleavage rates of nuclear transfer embryos after 3 d of culture in the ionomycin/CHX treated group were significantly higher than those of the SCF-activated group (93.3% vs 81.7%, p<0.01, respectively). However, at 7 d and 9 d there was no significant difference between the total developmental rates to blastocyst for either treatment group. Total blastocyst cell numbers were also not significantly different between the two activation treatments (ionomycin/CHX: 149.5${\pm}$7.7 vs. SCF: 139.3${\pm}$4.4 cells). In contrast, the apoptotic levels in the SCF blastocysts were higher than those produced after the chemical treatment (28.2${\pm}$5.1% vs. 8.8${\pm}$0.6%, respectively). A total of 18 expanded or hatching blastocysts was transferred to nine synchronized recipients in each activation group; 5/9 (55.5%) and 2/9 (22.2%) were pregnant at 40 d in the ionomycin/CHX treatment and SCF activated group, respectively. However, only one went to term in the ionomycin/CHX treatment while none of the pregnancies from the SCF group were maintained by 90 d. In conclusion, these results suggest that SCF derived from different species is a limited activator to be used for activation after bovine nuclear transfer in lieu of a chemical activation protocol.

This experiment was to investigate whether the mitochondria function assessment can be used for the prediction of sperm fertility through examining the correlation between mitochondria fluoromicroscopic frequency of frozen-thawed eight Hanwoo bull semen using rhodamine123 (R123) and in vitro embryo development following fertilization. Individual sperm were stained in 5 ${\mu}g/mL$ R123-added calcium-free Sp-TALP for 30 min at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after thawing and examined their mid-piece under an epifluorescence microscope using 495 nm excitation filter (x1,000). Three replications were taken, and at least 300 sperm per individual were examined. When semen samples were separated into two groups (good and poor) by sperm motility and fluorescent frequencies at just after thawing, average fluorescent frequencies were remarkably reduced as time going (0 h; $53.29{\~}72.94\%$, 6 h; $21.40{\~}58.90\%$, 12 h; $8.26{\~}25.93\%$, 24 h; $1.00{\~}13.78\%$, irrespective of selected group, and there were no differences at 6 h or 12 h after thawing between selected groups but indicated significant difference at 24 h after thawing (p<0.05). In vitro fertilization rates in good and poor groups ranging $70.8{\~}77.8\%$ and $52.1{\~}84.5\%$, respectively, were not significantly different. However, in vitro development rates of the same groups ranging $25.7{\~}40.0\%$ and $12.9{\~}1.8\%$, respectively, were significant different (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that mitochondria fluoromicroscopic assessment of frozen-thawed bovine sperm may be used as a criterion to select more fertile sperm.
