| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the gene transfer to non-growing oocytes in vitro and the ovarian tissue cryopreservation were carried out in ovaries of common Mmarmoset (Callithrix jacchus) that is a non-human primate. The non-growing oocytes survived for 3 weeks at most. During the time, the non-growing oocytes expressed the GFP fluorescence were found following gene transfer using a lentivirus vector. In ovarian tissue cryopreservation, the tissue after warming maintained the morphology before cryopreservation. There were no significant differences between fresh and vitrification in cryodamage parameters. The TEM analysis revealed the morphlogy equivalent to fresh ovaries in the vitrified/warmed ovaries. This study showed novel possibility of developmental biotechnology in a non-human primate.
