Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we established the method for preparing the rabbit embryos effectively as a technique in reproductive engineering in the rabbit. We tried superovulation on the young rabbits (12-14 weeks of age) and found that they have an ability to provide more than 3 times eggs (an average of around 100) comparison with the adult rabbits (20 weeks of age or older) after superovulating with PMSG. After in vitro fertilization (IVF) using eggs collected from young rabbits, there were no significant differences in result of IVF such as fertility and development rate to blastocyst comparison with eggs from adult rabbits. These results indicate that the egg from the young rabbit at least has fertility and the ability of development to blastocyst after IVF.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

医学研究において疾患モデル動物は有用な研究資源であり、これらの保存・供給事業を進めるには、精子・胚の凍結といった保存技術の確立が非常に重要である。マウス・ラットではすでにこれらの技術が確立され、多くの研究機関で広く利用されている。いっぽう、ウサギでは、マウス・ラットに比べ性成熟に時間がかかる上、飼育スペースの確保が難しい、高コストとなるなど系統維持・保存作業は困難な点が多いことから研究が進んでいなかった。本研究の成果は、これらの問題の一端を解決し、ヒト疾患モデルとしての遺伝子改変ウサギ開発の促進や疾患モデルウサギの保存・供給事業の推進に寄与する事ができると考えられれる。
