	Culture of Mammalian Embryos OR Ova - The mammalian embryos (rabbit or mouse), as young as 2-8 celled fertilized ova, have been cultured. It was shown in these cases that considerable development can really take place in vitro, and mouse embryos were shown to develop upto blastocysts.
Such cultured embryos or ova can be reimplanted and give rise to healthy animals. The media used for this purpose varied from 100% serum, through the common types of plasma embryo extract media to simple Krebs Ringer solutions supplemented will 1% of thin egg white or bovine albumin. The embryo can be cultured either in the pre implantation stage or at the post implantation stage. In the latter case, special care is needed to remove the embryo in an undamaged form.
