Popis: The effects of the removal of cumulus cells from fertilized mouse oocytes (one-cell embryos) and the presence of streptomycin in culture medium on in vitro development were studied. Ham's F-10 medium with (0.075 g/liter) or without streptomycin was supplemented with human serum (15%). Cumulus-intact embryos were harvested from oviducts after mice were superovulated with pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Hyaluronidase (300 IU/ml) was used to remove the cumuli. Embryos were cultured (i) with cumulus/without streptomycin (n=238), (ii) with cumulus/with streptomycin (n=185), (iii) without cumulus/with streptomycin (n=210), and (iv) without cumulus/without streptomycin (n=218). Embryonic development was assessed 24, 96, and 120 hr after initiation of culture. Percentage two cells and percentage small or expanded blastocysts were not different (P>0.05) among experimental groups. Percentages\(\left( {\bar X \pm SE} \right)\) hatched blastocysts for the four groups were (i) 36±8 and 54±7, (ii) 35±8 and 55±6, (iii) 19±5 and 42±6, (iv) 23±5 and 47±5 at 96 and 120 hr, respectively. Percentages all (small, expanded, and hatched combined) blastocysts were (i) 74±5 and 74±5, (ii) 74±9 and 72±5, (iii) 56±6 and 63±5, and (iv) 61±5 and 63±5 at 96 and 120 hr, respectively.
