Fig. 2 — In vitro maturation of oocytes in a maturation medium with added FSH and hCG and in a co-culture with follicular (granulosa) cells retrieved by mechanical denudation of the same oocytes before in vitro maturation. Oocytes were covered by granulosa cells, forming a primitive follicle-like structure. Two oocytes matured in vitro to the metaphase II (MII) stage and extruded a polar body (arrow) (a-d). (Inverted microscope, magnification 100× for a, c and 40× for b, d). Legend: GC-granulosa cells. Red Bar: 50 μm for a, c and 100 μm for b, d
