This study was carried out to determine the effects of ionomycin and 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) treatments on parthenogenesis of rabbit oocytes. The oocytes were randomly assigned to the activation treatments with either ionomycin plus 6-DMAP or electric stimulation. The oocytes were colected from the oviducts of superovulated rabbits at 13~14 hours and 19~20 hours post hCG injection and were activated with 5muM ionomycin for 5 min and 2 hours incubation in 2mM 6-DMAP. The other oocytes were stimulated by three pulses of 3.6kV/cm for 60 musec each 30 min apart, starting 19 hours post in hCG in 0.28M mannitol solution with 100muM Ca2+ and Mg2+. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Following treatment of the oocytes with ionomycin plus 6-DMAP, the cleavage rate and in vitro developmental rate to blastocyst were significantly(P<0.01) higher in the oocytes collected bet ween 19~20 hours than between 13~14 hours after hCG injection. 2. When the oocytes were treated with ionomycin plus 6-DMAP, 85(98.8%) of 86 treated oocytes extruded the second polar bodies, with the entire chromatin complements outside ooplasm. However when the oocytes were restored during subsequent incubation in the drug-free medium, the cytoplasts regain their full capacity for parthenogenetic activation and nuclear remodelling. 3. The cleavage rate and the in vitro developmental rate to blastocyst were not significantly different in the oocytes activated by ionomycin plus 6-DMAP treatment(91.2 and 45.6%) or electrical stimulation(89.6 and 34.3%).
