A schematic illustration of the in vitro maturation process in mice
Description
The IVM procedure is performed on secondary follicles with an average size of 100–130 μm. Thus, it is recommended that secondary follicles be collected from 19–23-week-old mice. The obtained follicles are then matured in in vitro culture medium until they become Graafian follicles, called pre-IVM process. Then, denuded oocytes from Graafian follicles will be obtained to perform IVM until reaching metaphase II. For more detailed information, please contact me via email at vothuyanh2202@gmail.com.
