The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro / in vivo embryonic development after vitrification of mouse zygotes and the chrom osomal normality of delivered live young after embryo transfer. Mouse IVF zygotes were cryopreserved by vitrification using vitrification solution, EFS40 (40% ethylene glyc이, 30% Ficoll a and 0.3 M sucrose in phosphate buffer saline c containing 10% FBS ) . After mouse zygotes were exposed to EFS40 at 25"C for 30 sec., they were immediately plunged into LN_2. Vitrified thawed mouse zygotes were cultured upto bIastocysts in M16 for 4 days. The rates of in vitro development were 71.5% under this condition. Cultured blastocysts were transferred to recipients (3 day of pseudopregnant) on one or both uterus horns (6-8 embryos per a uterus horn). And all recipients were allowed to produce litters. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: The pregnancy rates and in vivo survival rates, live fetus rates, for vitrified zygotes (80.0, 39.6%) were not significantly difference in those of control zygotes (77.8%, 50.0%). Also, all of live-born young mice were chromosomally normal (n=40). This results suggested that proposed rapid vitrification procedures can be effectively use in 1-cell mouse zygotes cryopreservation.
