Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal activation condition for parthenogenetic development. In order to activate oocytes at 24 hrs post onset of maturation, the oocytes were cultured $3{\sim}13{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$ for 5 min., $5-8{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin for 6 hrs, 0.5~2.0 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine(DMAP) for 3 hrs alone or combination. The activated oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 media at 5% $CO_2$, 95% air, $38^{\circ}C$. The cleavage rate after 48 hrs culture of oocytes treated with $3-13{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$, $5-8{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin and 0.5~2.0 mM DMAP for 5 min., 6 hrs and 3 hrs were 9.6%~20.0%, 0.0%~7.3% and 9.4%~21.8%, 0.0%~7.3% and 9.1%~21.8% and 0.0%~7.3%, respectively. When oocyte were treated with $10{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$, $10{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin and 2.0 mM DMAP the blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher than other group. The cleavage rate after 48 hrs culture of oocytes treated with $Ca^{2+}$ + cytoclacin, $Ca^{2+}$ + DMAP, cytoclacin + DMAP were 75.9%~93.5% and 9.7%~19.0%, respectively. When oocytes were treated with $Ca^{2+}$ followed by DMAP, the blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher than other group(p<0.05). When necleus transferred embryos co-cultured with bovine serum albumin(BSA), epithemal growth factor(EGF) and calf serum(CS), the developmental rate to blastocyst were higher than control group.
