METHOD FOR GROWING NORMAL DESCENDANTS FROM OOCYTES INJECTED WITH SPERMATOZOA TREATED BY DRYING WITH FREEZING Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves using product containing spermatozoa treated by drying with freezing to humidity level of 1% and having injured membrane or spermatozoon head so that spermatozoon nucleus retains its genetic validity enough for fertilization. The spermatozoon heads fertilize an isolated oocyte after rehydration and microinjection being done. The retained genetic integrity is enough for fertilizing an oocyte and producing living descendants. Method involves collecting living mature spermatozoa, making spermatozoa suspension in special purpose physiological medium, freezing the spermatozoa suspension for producing frozen spermatozoa, drying the frozen spermatozoa or spermatozoa heads in vacuum to humidity level of 1%, making rehydration of spermatozoa or spermatozoa heads with injured membrane and selecting those retaining nucleus of genetic integrity. The selected spermatozoa or spermatozoa heads are used for fertilizing isolated oocytes with living descendants being produced.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in producing living descendants.
