Embodiment 1

[0029] Main equipment: microinjector (Eppendorf, Germany, FemtoJet 4i); Nikon stereo microscope (Japan); pneumatic manual microinjector (brand: Eppendorf, model: CellTram Air, place of origin: Germany); injection needle (MIC -35-35, ORIGIO, USA); egg-holding needle (MPH-MED-35, ORIGIO, USA); Petri dishes and Pasteur pipettes were purchased from Falcon, USA; pipettes were purchased from Eppendorf, Germany.

[0030] The oocytes of female cynomolgus monkeys were collected according to the conventional method of ovulation induction, and the zona pellucida was physically removed from the oocytes of cynomolgus monkeys. The specific steps were as follows:

[0031] (1) Prepare microdroplets of micromanipulation solution: add 50uL serum albumin (BSA, Sigma, USA) to 10mL TL-hepes solution (Caisson, USA), then add 50uL double antibody (Gibco, USA), mix well Obtain the micromanipulation solution; place the prepared micromanipulation solution in the operation tray, and divide the dish into...

Embodiment 2

[0038] The oocytes of female C57 mice were collected according to conventional methods of ovulation induction, and the zona pellucida was physically removed from the oocytes of C57 mice. The specific steps were as follows:

[0039] (1) Same as embodiment 1;

[0040] (2) Same as embodiment 1;

[0041] (3) Place the operating disk on the micromanipulator table of the micromanipulator, use a pipette gun to draw 5-10uL sterile PBS solution into the inner cavity of the tip of the injection needle, and install the egg-holding needle and the injection needle on the micromanipulator. On the fixed rod of the manipulator, adjust the screw, and observe in the field of view of the inverted microscope, so that the oocyte, egg-holding needle and injection needle are at the same horizontal position;

[0042] (4) The preset injection pressure Pi of the microinjector in cleaning mode is 120hPa, and the balance pressure Pc is 220hPa. Connect the egg holding needle to the pneumatic manual micro...

Embodiment 3

[0048] The oocytes of female buffalo are collected according to the conventional method of ovulation induction, and the zona pellucida is removed from the buffalo oocytes by physical methods. The specific steps are as follows:

[0049] (1) Same as embodiment 1;

[0050] (2) Same as embodiment 1;

[0051] (3) Place the operating disk on the micromanipulator table of the micromanipulator, use a pipette gun to draw 5-10uL sterile PBS solution into the inner cavity of the tip of the injection needle, and install the egg-holding needle and the injection needle on the micromanipulator. On the fixed rod of the manipulator, adjust the screw, and observe in the field of view of the inverted microscope, so that the oocyte, egg-holding needle and injection needle are at the same horizontal position;

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for physically removing an oocyte zona pellucida. The method comprises the following steps: putting to-be-subjected-to-zona pellucida removal oocytes into micromanipulation liquid microdroplets; sucking sterile physiological saline or a sterile PBS solution into the inner cavity of the tip end of an injection needle, so that the oocyte, an ovum holding needle and the injection needle are positioned on the same horizontal line; presetting the injection pressure and the balance pressure of a micro-injection instrument in a cleaning mode; and fixing the ovum at the front end of the ovum holding needle, puncturing the injection needle into the zona pellucida of the oocyte, pressing a cleaning button, and quickly injecting the solution into the perioocyte gap ofthe oocyte, so that the cytoplasm of the oocyte jumps out of the zona pellucida hole punctured by the injection needle so as to obtain the zona-removed oocyte. The method is fast in zona pellucida removal and high in zona pellucida removal efficiency, the oocyte is complete and smooth after zona pellucida removal, the activity of oocytes can be well maintained, and the influence of enzymes on oocytes is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for physically removing the zona pellucida of oocytes. Background technique [0002] Zona pellucida (ZP) is a layer of extracellular matrix wrapped on the surface of mammalian oocytes and mainly secreted by oocytes. The zona pellucida ruptures after the blastocyst forms and grows up, and the blastocyst hatches. The zona pellucida plays a crucial role in fertilization, and its structure is mainly composed of three glycoproteins (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3). Among them, ZP3 can recognize and combine with the sperm of the same species, and then induce the sperm to undergo acrosome reaction and start the fertilization process. Therefore, it plays a key role in the development and fertilization of eggs and the development of embryos before implantation. [0003] With the development of oocyte and embryo-related application technologies, zona-free oocytes have good application value in nucle...
