[The parthenogenetic activation under the action of cycloheximide of mouse oocytes matured in vivo].

Treatment of mouse oocytes matured in vivo by cycloheximide at a concentration 25 micrograms/ml for 2 h induced female pronucleus formation. In all activated oocytes the formation of the female nucleus was completed 5-6 h after the beginning of cycloheximide treatment. When cycloheximide concentration was decreased down to 5 micrograms/ml, its effect was detected 1 h later as compared with that at a concentration of 25 micrograms/ml.
