Methods : Frozen2t hawed oocytes were investigated against t he fresh mouse MII oocyte as control. Wit h t he cryoloop carrier, mo use M II oocytes were vit rified in vit rificatio n solutio n co nsisting of 15 % et hylene glycol ( EG), 15 % dimet hylsulp hoxide (DMSO), 5. 8 mg/ ml Ficoll 400 and mol/ L sucrose ( ED 15 p rotocol ). Af ter t hawing, t he survival rates were reco rded. So me t hawed oocytes and f resh oocytes were fixed, and t he microt ubules of t he spindles and chro mo so mes were t hen stained by immunofluorescent method. Confocal microscopy was used to reveal t he configurations of t he spindles and chromo somes. Most of the ot her survived oocytes were inseminated in vitro, t hen t he fertilization rates and blastocyst formation rates were compared wit h t hose of t he control group. Results : The oocytes vitrified by this protocol survived very well. The number of thawed oocytes wit h normal spindles and chro mo so mes was similar to t hat of t he f resh o nes. The fertilizatio n rates and blastocyst formation rates of t he thawed oocytes were also high, similar to those of the control group. Conclusion : The ED15 vitrification protocol has little deleterious affect on t he MII mouse oocytes survival rate, spindles and chromosomes.
