Abstract
Recent advances in extracorporeal (in vitro) fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) have demonstrated the applicability of this technique for the treatment of human infertility due to irreparable tubal dysfunction (Lopata et al., 1980; Steptoe and Edwards, 1979). However, the rate of success remains extremely limited. The reasons for frequent failures are difficult to identify and overcome because stepwise laboratory research from human gamete collection to implantation of the embryo is constrained ethically and legally in many societies (Walters, 1979). Clearly, experimental studies that consider separately each step in the sequence of IVF and ET provide maximal opportunities for improved success rates for infertile couples.
