| Research Abstract |
There are a lot of immature follicles in the ovary. However, advances of a follicular development depend on the age, hormonal status and nourishment state of individuals. Therefore a number of full mature follicles is usually limited without superovulation. It is thought that we can produce the next generations efficiently if immature follicles in the ovary can be available.
As for the rabbit oocyte in an immature follicle, it is not ready to be fertilized normally. It should be matured in appropriate culture systems to acquire an ability of the normal fertilization and development. In this proposal, we tried to develop a system which make it possible to produce full mature rabbit oocytes in vitro.
