Porcine follicular oocyte, collected from antral follicles (2~5 mm in diameter) of gilt ovaries were matured in vitro porcine follicular fluid (pFF) with PMSG (pFF-PMSG) buffer with at 37^{circ}C under 5% CO2 in air their ability of maturation promoting factor (MPF), of GV and GVBD formation was examined followed during time after in vitro culture. Formation of second metaphase was observed in 57.6% and 71.2% of matured in with pFF-PMSG buffer to 45 and 50 hours after invitro. Porcine oocytes cultured in pFF-PMSG for various periods of up to 30 hours were stained with Hoechst-33342 and classified according to maturation before assaying. Histone H1 kinase (H1K) activity was assayed during meiotic maturation in porcine oocytes matured in pFF-PMSG buffer in vitro. In oocytes matured in pFF-PMSG, H1K activity was at the 30 hours after culture and increased about 15 fold than at the germinal vesicle stage with before at the cultured in vitro. This pattern is similar to those reported in non-mammalian species and su, pp.rts the concepts that H1K is ubiquitous in eukaryotes and controls the meiotic cell cycle in mammals. These results suggest that the maturation pFF-PMSG buffer used influences the fluctuation pattern of H1K activity and biological characteristics of porcine oocytes cultured in vitro.
