“…This study supports the conclusion that human gonadotropin treatment, as used by this [20] and other [4] investigators in IVF-related cycles, generates antigonadotropin antibodies in most (>go%) rhesus monkeys within two protocols. Protein A specifically binds and precipitates immunoglobulin G [lo].…”

“…The failure of human gonadotropin treatment in IVF-related cycles to generate antibodies that compromise menstrual cyclicity and fertility in macaques is of importance to researchers' efforts to apply IVF-ET technology to endangered species of nonhuman primates [4]. Multiple protocols could be performed on a limited number of available females to maximize oocyte recovery, without altering the future breeding potential of such animals.…”

Administration of human gonadotropins such as hFSH, hLH, and hCG to rhesus macaques can result in formation of anti-human gonadotropin antibodies. To determine whether the presence of these antibodies interferes with subsequent fertility, sixteen female rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) with known antibody levels were bred with male rhesus macaques. The presence of antibodies did not interfere with conception or maintenance of pregnancy. Furthermore, antibody titers did not increase during gestation or following the resolution of pregnancy.

“…Specifically, this technology could allow the safe storage of male germplasm even in remote geographic areas, where the majority of critically endangered species occur, and where there is a lack of liquid nitrogen storage facilities. The current limitation of this technique is the need for efficient, established ICSI methods, which have currently been developed only for a few wildlife species, including the liontailed macaque (Cranfield et al 2000), gorilla (Lanzendorf et al 1992) and jaguarundi (Pope et al 1998). In addition, this method depends extensively on the availability of all needed embryo transfer-related technologies (including culture, recipient synchronisation and embryo delivery into the uterus).…”

Abstract. Sustaining viable populations of all wildlife species requires the maintenance of habitat, as well as an understanding of the behaviour and physiology of individual species. Despite substantial efforts, there are thousands of species threatened by extinction, often because of complex factors related to politics, social and environmental conditions and economic needs. When species become critically endangered, ex situ recovery programmes that include reproductive scientists are the usual first line of defence. Despite the potential of reproductive technologies for rapidly increasing numbers in such small populations, there are few examples of success. This is not the result of a failure on the part of the technologies per se, but rather is due to a lack of knowledge about the fundamental biology of the species in question, information essential for allowing reproductive technologies to be effective in the production of offspring. In addition, modern conservation concepts correctly emphasise the importance of maintaining heterozygosity to sustain genetic vigour, thereby limiting the practical usefulness of some procedures (such as nuclear transfer). However, because of the goal of maintaining all extant gene diversity and because, inevitably, many species are (or will become) 'critically endangered', it is necessary to explore every avenue for a potential contributory role. There are many 'emerging technologies' emanating from the study of livestock and laboratory animals. We predict that a subset of these may have application to the rescue of valuable genes from individual endangered species and eventually to the genetic management of entire populations or species. The present paper reviews the potential candidate techniques and their potential value (and limitations) to the study and conservation of rare wildlife species.
