摘要
The cryopreservation of oocytes of most animal species remains a challenge due to their complex structure. Equilibrium freezing is not satisfactory because oocytes seem to be damaged by exposure for several minutes to temperatures near 0degreesC. Therefore, cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification - especially the use of very high cooling rates of oocytes suspended in extremely small volumes of various cryoprotective additive modifications - seems the most appropriate method.
