Human zygotes resulting from IVF were placed in two different culture systems to evaluate in-vitro development and to establish pregnancies in patients following embryo replacement. Treatment A (control) consisted of culturing zygotes in a modified Earle's Balanced Salt solution while treatment B consisted of culturing zygotes on a monolayer of fetal bovine uterine fibroblasts in this same culture medium. At the time of embryo replacement, embryos within treatments A and B had 3.7 and 4.3 blastomeres present, respectively. After 24 h in culture, the cellular fragmentation rate for treatment A embryos was 0.85 which was greater (P <0.05) than the fragmentation rate of 0.44) for embryos within treatment B. The incidence of implantation for patients whose embryos were given treatment A was 17.0% which was lower (P <0.05) than 35% for those given treatment B. Implantation rates increased with time in culture (43%) for treatment B embryos. Culture by treatment B of three pronucleate zygotes resulted in 7/9 and 4/9 reachIng the blastocyst and expanded blastocyst stages, respectively, whereas only 1/26 three-pronucleate zygotes cultured using treatment A reached either of these stages.
