Cytogenetic analysis of day-7 bovine embryos by cytophotometric DNA measurements
1993
A Feulgen staining procedure that stains the DNA of individual fixed nuclei stoichiometrically was used to analyse cytophotometrically the incidence of total ploidy and mixoploidy in 28 day-7 bovine embryos that had been fixed after collection («non-cultured» embryos). The influence of culture on the incidence of chromosome abnormalities was further studied in another group of 24 embryos («cultured» embryos) by culturing them for 24 h in Whittingham's medium. Of the total 52 embryos studied, two appeared to be entirely abnormal: one embryo was completely haploid, whereas the other embryo was completely triploid. Individual hyperdiploid nuclei and hypodiploid nuclei were frequently observed in the otherwise diploid embryos
