OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of bovine cumulus-granulosa cells to survive cryopreservation and subsequently support bovine embryo development during coculture. METHODS In vitro-matured and -fertilized bovine embryos (two- to four-cell) were allotted randomly to one of three treatment groups: [1] control medium alone consisting of Medium 199 containing 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics, [2] cocultured on fresh bovine cumulus-granulosa cells in control medium, or [3] cocultured on frozen-thawed cumulus-granulosa cells in control medium. Embryo development was assessed on days 7 and 8 after IVF. RESULTS Coculture improved embryo development on days 7 and 8 compared with the control group. However, embryo development on days 7 and 8 did not differ among coculture groups. CONCLUSIONS Frozen-thawed cumulus-granulosa cells enhance embryo development similar to fresh cells during in vitro coculture.

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.

D006107 Granulosa Cells Supporting cells for the developing female gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic epithelial cells of the gonadal ridge. Granulosa cells form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial ovarian follicle and advance to form a multilayered cumulus oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of granulosa cells include the production of steroids and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH). Cell, Granulosa,Cells, Granulosa,Granulosa Cell
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D046508 Culture Techniques Methods of maintaining or growing biological materials in controlled laboratory conditions. These include the cultures of CELLS; TISSUES; organs; or embryo in vitro. Both animal and plant tissues may be cultured by a variety of methods. Cultures may derive from normal or abnormal tissues, and consist of a single cell type or mixed cell types.
