The first aim of the study was to compare the ability of rat serum, human serum, and a mixture of human and rat serum (4:1) to support in vitro development of rodent postimplantation embryos. The comparison was made in three laboratories using rat embryos and in one laboratory using mouse embryos. Batches of sera, initial developmental stage, duration of culture, and endpoints were identical in the laboratories. The second aim of the study was to evaluate if other variables that could not be standardized would significantly influence the results of the laboratories. No reproducible difference was observed among the culture media or among the laboratories except that growth and differentiation were slower in the laboratory using mouse embryos. Further experiments are needed to exclude small differences in performance of the media.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004622 Embryo, Mammalian The entity of a developing mammal (MAMMALS), generally from the cleavage of a ZYGOTE to the end of embryonic differentiation of basic structures. For the human embryo, this represents the first two months of intrauterine development preceding the stages of the FETUS.
