This study was carried out to investigate the in vivo developmental potential of mouse zona-hatched blastocysts (HBs). The HBs were cultured in vitro until day 5 and day 6 from zygotes produced in vivo and classified to small (S-HBs), medium (M-HBs) and large (L-HBs) on the basis of embryo diameters. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows ; 1) when the blastocysts at day 4 were further cultured for 24sim48hr, HBs obtained at day 5 and day 6 culture in vitro were 29.1% and 22.8%, respectively. 2) Also, when the total cell number of HBs were counted, cell numbers of classified HBs on day 5 and day 6 to small (77.3pm5.3, 59.6pm4.4), medium (83.7pm4.0, 66.8pm3.5) and large (100.7pm2.6, 88.9pm3.8) were increased as their size increases. Especially, there were significantly different between S-HBs and L-HBs (p<0.01). 3) In addition, when the classified HBs were transferred into when the classified HBs were transferred into day 3 pseudopregnant recipients, the pregnancy and implantation rates of S-HBs (28.6%, 15.7%), M-HBs (44.4%, 30.9%) and L-HBs (62.5%, 49.1%) at day 5 were increased as their size increases. However, this pattern was not showed in embryo transfer of day 6 HBs. But, when the live fetuses formation against total implantation rates were observed, the result (87.5%) of S-HBs of day 5 was significantly higher than that of the others (p<0.01). Therefore, this study demonstrates that in vitro cultured healthy HBs can not only be developed normally with good pregnancy rates, implantation rates and live fetuses formation, but also served as a fundamental data for utility of supernumerary HBs in human blastocyst transfer.
