Table 7. Survival after warming and IVM and subsequent in vitro embryo development after IVF of immature cumulus-enclosed oocytes vitrified in a total of 35% (v/v) CPA (EG + PG = 1:1) after different durations of equilibration in a total of 4% (v/v) CPA.

Four replications were performed. Data are presented as mean ± SEM values. * After IVF, all live oocytes were subsequently cultured for 6 days (day 0 = IVF). $ Tendentious difference compared with vitrified oocytes equilibrated for 5 min (P = 0.08).
