The objective was to determine if mouse sperm can maintain their fertilizing ability after being frozen for >10 y and whether the offspring derived from these sperm had normal fertilizing ability and phenotype. We cryopreserved sperm from six strains of mice (C57BL/6J, DBA/2N, BALB/cA, C3H/HeJ, B6D2F1 and B6C3F1) in a solution containing 18% (w/v) raffinose and 3% (w/v) skim milk, and preserved them in liquid nitrogen for >10 y. To assess the normality and fertilizing ability of these sperms, they were thawed and used for in vitro fertilization of oocytes of the same strains. Fertilization rates for C57BL/6J, DBA/2N, BALB/cA, C3H/HeJ, B6D2F1 and B6C3F1 were 66.4, 92.3, 72.8, 32.9, 60.3 and 53.7%, respectively. Furthermore, 38.3, 15.0, 43.3, 26.1, 38.3 and 16.7% of the embryos transferred to pseudopregnant females developed and produced live offspring that had normal phenotype and fertility.
目的是确定小鼠精子在冷冻超过10年后是否仍能保持其受精能力,以及源自这些精子的后代是否具有正常的受精能力和表型。我们将来自六个品系小鼠(C57BL/6J、DBA/2N、BALB/cA、C3H/HeJ、B6D2F1和B6C3F1)的精子保存在含有18%(w/v)棉子糖和3%(w/v)脱脂乳的溶液中,并在液氮中保存超过10年。为了评估这些精子的正常性和受精能力,将它们解冻并用于对同品系的卵母细胞进行体外受精。C57BL/6J、DBA/2N、BALB/cA、C3H/HeJ、B6D2F1和B6C3F1的受精率分别为66.4%、92.3%、72.8%、32.9%、60.3%和53.7%。此外,移植到假孕雌性体内的胚胎中有38.3%、15.0%、43.3%、26.1%、38.3%和16.7%发育并产下了具有正常表型和生育能力的活后代。
