Abstract
In the last 15 years since the first successful cryoconservation of mouse eggs by Whittingham in 1971 and 1972 [1, 2] many groups of scientists throughout the world have tried to optimize the fertilization and development rates of frozen and thawed mouse oocytes by changing starting temperatures, cryoprotective agents, freezing and thawing profiles, and different culture media [3–5].
