Abstrakt: Evaluates the effectiveness of the S-enantiomer of roscovitine to maintain bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes at the germinal vesicle stage for extended times after removal from antral follicles without compromising subsequent maturation, fertilization and embryo development. Inhibition of gonadotropin-induced cumulus expansion; Oocytes that underwent nuclear maturation after in vitro maturation; Maintenance of bovine oocytes by S-roscovitine.
