Abstract:Previous results indicated that there was a difference in transcriptional activity depending on the method used to remove the cumulus cells after IVF (Zeringue et al. 2005 LabChip 5, 86-90). However, specific gene expression was not examined and therefore was the goal of the present study. The objective of this study was to compare the transcription levels of the HSP70.1 gene in bovine in vitro production (IVP) embryos that underwent cumulus removal by vortexing, hand stripping, or microfluidic treatment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
