Abstract

This study was performed 1) to establish the optimal PCR condition of sex determination in Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos, 2) to examine the sex determination and sex ratio to the developmental stages of Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos by two-step PCR method. The sexing of bovine IVF embryos were accurately determined by PCR methods using Y chromosome specific DNA primer(BOV 97M, 141bp) and bovine specific DNA primer(216bp). The fregment size were shown at 141 and 216 base pairs(bp) in male, and 216 bp in female. Two-steps PCR method in which the samples were amplified by 15 cycles with Y chromosome specific DNA primer and then amplified by additional 30 cycles with bovine specific DNA primer was effective in the sexing of bovine IVF embryos. The zona-free embryos were more effective than zona-intact embryos in bovine IVF embryo sexing. The appearance of Y chromosome specific band was 45.2% in embryos treated with protease K and 53.3% in embryos treated with freezing and thawing repeatedly. The optimun volume of DNA for sexing of Hanwoo IVF embryos were 2 to 10 mu1 in Zona-free embryos and 12 to 13 mu1 in zona-intact embryos. The sexing rate of bovine IVF embryos by PCR was 96.0% and questionable rate not identified sex was 4.0%, respectively. Among the sexed embryos, the percentage of male and female was 49.7% and 46.3%, respectively, the sex ratio was 1: 1.1. The successful rate of embryo sexing was increased to the developmental stages.
