Vitrification by Rapid-I method could be essential for felid rescue programs to protect wild felid in the future.
This study was aimed at adapting the Rapid I method and evaluating the viability of serval and Pallas cat oocytes compared to oocytes of the domestic cat.
Oocytes after collection and in vitro maturation were vitrified using Cryotech medium (Cryotech, Japan) and a Rapid-I device (Vitrolife, Sweden). To evaluate viability, oocytes after warming were stained with fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide.
Survival rate in the control group (domestic cat) was 75 %. In the experimental group, 70% (serval) and 60% (pallas cat) viable oocytes were found.
The Rapid-I method can be applied successfully for the vitrification of wild felid oocytes.
快速I法玻璃化冷冻对于未来野生猫科动物救援计划中保护野生猫科动物可能至关重要。
本研究旨在采用快速I法,并比较薮猫和兔狲卵母细胞与家猫卵母细胞的活力。
采集并体外成熟后的卵母细胞使用Cryotech培养基(日本Cryotech公司)和快速I设备(瑞典Vitrolife公司)进行玻璃化冷冻。为评估活力,解冻后的卵母细胞用二乙酸荧光素和溴化乙锭染色。
对照组(家猫)的存活率为75%。在实验组中,发现70%(薮猫)和60%(兔狲)的卵母细胞具有活力。
快速I法可成功应用于野生猫科动物卵母细胞的玻璃化冷冻。
