  • Protocol
  • First Online:
Cryopreservation of Mammalian Gametes and Embryos

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1568))

Abstract

Success in cryopreservation of ovarian tissue (OT) in animal models has led to develop efficient cryo-technologies for human ovarian tissue. In this chapter, cryopreservation protocols developed for animal experiments are described.
