Fertilization and embryo development following intracytoplasmic injection
of round spermatids collected from hybrid sterile mice (BALB/c) were
investigated. The rates of oocyte activation, blastocyst formation and
development into live offspring were compared with those after
intracytoplasmic injection of round spermatids from fertile mice (B6D2F1).
The injection of oocytes with round spermatids from hybrid sterile or
sterile males resulted in similar rates of normal fertilization and embryo
development. The rates of development to term of 2-cell embryos were also
similar, regardless of the origin of the round spermatids injected. This
finding suggested that round spermatids from hybrid sterile mice have the
ability to fertilize normally and to allow normal embryo development.
