RIKEN BRC maintains a collection of over 50 wild-derived mouse strains that are available to researchers all over the world. In addition to a large collection of subspecies of Mus musculus<\/i> that are the same species as laboratory mice, we also maintain a valuable collection of mice from different Mus<\/i> species. These wild-derived mice from different species are an important research resource with even greater polymorphism than subspecies wild-derived mice. However, they have the disadvantage that the basic reproductive engineering techniques have not been developed yet. Therefore, we aimed to develop reproductive technologies for Mus spretus<\/i> mice (SPR2 strain), one of the most widely used wild-derived mouse species. It was extremely difficult to obtain in vitro<\/i>– and in vitro<\/i>-fertilized eggs from SPR2 mice. We succeeded in obtaining an average of 16 in vivo<\/i>-fertilized eggs per female by combining superovulation treatment based on anti-inhibin serum with estradiol treatment and natural mating. In addition, we have developed a vitrification preservation method for two-cell stage embryos using an ethylene glycol-based solution. Finally, we have devised embryo transfer technique; use of B6C3F1 ([C57BL\/6\u00d7C3H]F1) females as recipients instead of the usual ICR mice achieved practical birth rates from frozen\/thawed 2-cell embryos.<\/p>\n

It is expected that these techniques will facilitate the maintenance, distribution, and research use of spretus mice, as well as the generation of their genetically modified lines.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
