| Research Abstract |
Through this study, suitable vitrification solution for cryopreserving zebrafish primordial germ cells was developed. Differentiation ability of the primordial germ cells cryopreserved with the established solution was confirmed. In the absence of other promising cryopreservation methods for zebrafish embryos and oocytes, the established cryopreservation method of primordial germ cells can be applicable for cryobanking and restoration of genetic resources of zebrafish.
