Experiments were carried out to transform laboratory mice and domestic chickens by use of sperm incubated with bacterial plasmid DNA. Following demonstration of "uptake" of such DNA by sperm of both species, attempts were made to replicate a previously published procedure (Lavitrano et al. 1989, Cell 57: 717–723) for producing transgenic mice through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Also, female mice and hens were inseminated (AI) with sperm which had been incubated in a DNA solution. Such incubation did not influence the fertility or hatchability of the hens' eggs. However, no transformed progeny were detected among 45 mice produced by IVF or among 69 mice and 470 chickens produced by AI. Key words: Sperm-mediated DNA transfer, mice, chickens

Embryo transfer of pre-implantation embryos to surrogate dams is a key technique for the hygienic sanitation of strains, cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization, genetic modification and engineering. However, the effects of several parameters, such as the number of transferred embryos, on the success of embryo transfer are not well studied. In this retrospective study, we reanalysed 1320 embryo transfers of two-cell embryos originating from genetically altered donors, which were performed under routine conditions in our facility over a period of 5 years. Of them, 453 embryo transfers were done with freshly collected embryos and 867 transfers were performed with cryopreserved embryos. Despite the fact that the genetic background of the embryo donors was quite heterogeneous, we found that the transfer of ≥ 21 embryos reduced the success of embryo transfers for freshly collected embryos in correlation with the number of pregnancies and born pups, whereas this was not the case for transfer in the cryopreservation group. Most pregnancies were achieved after embryo transfer of 10–20 freshly collected embryos (90.4%), which dropped to 37.5% if more embryos were transferred. The highest pregnancy rates in the cryopreservation group were achieved if 15–17 embryos were transferred (62.9%). Despite the fact that the precise substrains were only rarely defined, we confirmed that beside the number of transferred embryos, the genetic background of the donors had an influence on the success of embryo transfer. Significantly more embryos in a C57BL/6 background developed to term than embryos on a BALB/c background.

IVF carries a considerable physical, emotional and financial burden. Therefore, it would be useful to be able to predict the likelihood of success for each couple. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to develop a prediction model to estimate the probability of a live birth at 12 months after one completed IVF cycle (all fresh and frozen embryo transfers from the same oocyte retrieval). We analyzed data collected from 2600 women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) at a single center in Vietnam between April 2014 and December 2015. All patients received gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist stimulation, followed by fresh and/or frozen embryo transfer (FET) on Day 3. Using Cox regression analysis, five predictive factors were identified: female age, total dose of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone used, type of trigger, fresh or FET during the first transfer, and number of subsequent FET after the first transfer. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for the final model was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60‒0.65) and 0.60 (95% CI 0.57‒0.63) for the validation cohort. There was no significant difference between the predicted and observed probabilities of live birth (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p > 0.05). The model developed had similar discrimination to existing models and could be implemented in clinical practice.
