Optimization of the System for Genetic-Embryological Studies of Inbred Mice Strains. 1. Comparison of in vitro Fertilization Ability of Inbred Strain Mice BALB/cLac, C57BL/6j and ICR

Summary

    We present data on optimization of the biological system, which is connec¬ted with natural reproductive function of animals. The fertility and productivity of BALB/cLac, C57BL/6J and ICR females were studied as a function of seson factor. C57BL and ICR females, wich differ in their coat color, have stable and high fertility and productivity. C57BL mice may be propose as gamete and zygote donors in experi¬ments, connected with in vitro fertilization and embryo incubation. ICR females may be used as recipients for embryo transplantations.
