This study was conducted to investigate the effects of cryoprotective agents and thawing temperature on the survival rate of the bisected embryos of mouse. The results of this study were summairzed as follows: 1. In in vitro culture after frozen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycol or propanediol and thawed, the rates of normally developed bisected morula which was denuded were 31.7, 39.1, 28.0 and 23.1%, respectively. 2. The survival rates of bisected morula encased into the zona pellucida in in vitro culture after frozen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycol or propanediol and thawed were 72.4, 68.7, 64.0 and 59.5%, respectively. 3. The survival rates of bisected denuded blastura in in vitro culture after frozen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycol or propanediol and thawed were 48.3, 44.8, 32.1 and 28.6%, respectively. 4. The survival rates of bisected blasturae encased into the zona pellucida in in vitro culture after frozen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycol or propanediol and thawed were 73.6, 67.4, 53.0 and 49.1%, respectively. 5. In in vitro culture after frozen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycol or propanediol and thawed at room temperature, the rates of the normally developed bisected morula which was encased into the zona pellucida were 67.1, 62.3, 57.7 and 53.0%, respectively, and those of the bisected blasturae encased into the zona pellucida were 70.8, 65.4, 56.6 and 52.1%, respectively. 6. The survival rates of bisected morula which was encased into the zona pellucida in in vitro culture after forzen with DMSO, glycerol, ethylene glycerol or propanediol and thawed at 37^{circ}C were 74.3, 71.3, 63.9 and 57.4%, respectively, and those of bisected blastura encased into zona pellucida were 76.0, 69.1, 61.1 and 56.1%, respectively.
