In the present study, we investigated devel-opmental ability and transgene expression of IVM/IVF derived porcine embryos following microinjection with SV40-LacZ. A total of 412 IVM/IVF derived embryos were used to examine developmental ability and transgene expression following DNA microinjection. After centrifugation, pronuclei were visible in 60.3% when examined between 18~21h after IVF. Development and transgene expression were assessed after 9 days in culture. The percentages of injected embryos reaching to the morula and blastocyst were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those of non-injected control embryos. However, the percentages of DNA microinjected embryos and non-injected embryos that developed to the blastocyst or hatched blastocyst stage in dual culture systems (NCSU23 and EMEM) were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those in NCSU23 medium alone. As the resuIt of X-gal staining, the proportion of positive embryos was 40~43% in morula and blastocyst stage embryos, however, mosaicism has been observed in the most putative transgenic morulae and blastocysts. In the PCR analysis, the percentages of embryos integrated gGH gene were 45.0 and 44.4% in morula and blastocyst stage, respectively. These results suggest that improved IVM /IVF system and culture condition increased the embryo viability and ex-pression of a microinjected transgene.
