In-vitro Mutagenesis

16.8K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

In Vitro Fertilization

1.1K
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

    Area of Science:

    • * Laboratory Animal Science
    • * Reproductive Biology
    • * Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • * Traditional in vivo mouse fertilization methods can be inefficient and lead to asynchronous embryo development.
    • * In vitro fertilization (IVF) provides a controlled environment for fertilization, overcoming limitations of natural mating.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To describe a refined, effective in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocol for mouse embryos.
    • * To highlight the utility of IVF for strain expansion, cryopreservation, and strain rescue.

    Main Methods:

    • * Fertilization of mature oocytes with capacitated sperm in a tissue culture dish.
    • * Utilizes both fresh and cryopreserved sperm.
    • * Refined protocol applicable to a wide variety of mouse strains.

    Main Results:

    • * IVF generates large numbers of cleavage-stage embryos synchronously.
    • * Enables offspring generation from non-mating or infertile mice (strain rescue).
    • * Embryo yield varies by strain due to superovulation response and fertilization rates.

    Conclusions:

    • * The described IVF method is a simple and effective technique for mouse embryo production.
    • * IVF facilitates rapid strain expansion, creation of age-matched cohorts, and cryopreservation.
    • * Successful IVF requires practice and attention to detail for optimal results.
