In vitro maturation of goat oocytes selected using Brilliant cresyl blue staining
Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 52, Issue 4
Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess the developmental competence of goat oocytes selected using Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) staining. Goat ovaries were collected from the slaughtered animals with unknown reproductive history. The oocytes retrieved by aspiration technique were selected based on morphology and subjected to BCB staining. Brilliant cresyl blue staining is based on the activity of glucose-6-phospahte dehydrogenase (G6PDH) enzymesynthesised by the oocytes. The cytoplasm remains blue in oocytes that have finished the growth phase (BCB+) while the growing oocytes remain colourless (BCB-). The stained and unstained oocytes were subjected to in vitro maturation separately to assess cumulus cell expansion index and polar body extrusion. A total of 206 culture grade oocytes were subjected to study, out of which, 76.75 ± 2.38 per cent of oocytes showed positive to BCB staining and 23.21 ± 2.38 per cent were negatively stained. Significantly higher maturation rate was observed in BCB+(92.89 ± 2.37%) oocytes than BCB-(29.72 ± 2.46%). The present study concluded that BCB staining can be used for selecting goat oocytes with good cytoplasmic maturation for further in vitro embryo production
