IVF-ET in Old World Monkeys

  • Conference paper
In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer in Primates

Part of the book series: Serono Symposia, USA ((SERONOSYMP))

Abstract

IVF-ET is an emerging technology in nonhuman primates (NHP) since it is based on relatively limited experience in only a few species. Thus, while successful protocols are available for rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys, consistent or wide-spread application is not yet the order of the day. Undoubtedly, substantial species-dependent differences will be discovered, such as the extended menstrual cycle length recently described by us in Macaca nigra (1). This picture is in marked contrast with the extensive experience base now available in the human.
