The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for differentiating primordial germ cells into functionally mature GV stage oocytes by in vitro culture. The present invention pertains to a method for differentiating primordial germ cells into functional GV stage oocytes in vitro including (a) a step for forming secondary follicles by culturing primordial germ cells and feeder cells adjacent to the primordial germ cells under conditions that eliminate the effects of estrogen or factors having a similar function to estrogen, (b) a step for partially cleaving the bonds between the granulosa cell layer and the thecal cell layer among the oocyte, granulosa cell layer, and thecal cell layer that constitute the formed secondary follicles, and (c) a step for differentiating the oocytes into functional GV stage oocytes by culturing the oocytes and granulosa cell layer that constitute the secondary follicles and the thecal cell layer in medium including a polymer compound.
本发明要解决的问题是提供一种通过体外培养将原始生殖细胞分化为功能成熟的GV期卵母细胞的方法。本发明涉及一种在体外将原始生殖细胞分化为功能性 GV 期卵母细胞的方法,包括 (a) 在消除雌激素或与雌激素具有类似功能的因子的影响的条件下,通过培养原始生殖细胞和原始生殖细胞邻近的饲养细胞形成次级卵泡的步骤、(b) 部分裂解构成已形成的次级卵泡的卵母细胞、颗粒细胞层和鳞状细胞层之间的颗粒细胞层和鳞状细胞层之间的键的步骤,以及 (c) 通过在包括聚合物化合物的培养基中培养构成次级卵泡的卵母细胞和颗粒细胞层以及鳞状细胞层,将卵母细胞分化为功能性 GV 期卵母细胞的步骤。
