Abstract

Early in vitro fertilised (IVF)-derived blastocysts were bisected using a stainless steel micro-blade attached to a micro-manipulator. A small portion of the bisected samples was then exposed to either heat or ultra-cold shock treatment to burst the blastomere cell membrane. The treated samples were then subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the ZFX/ZFY gene using P1-5EZ and P2-3EZ primers. The sex of each sample was diagnosed based on the presence of Pst I-RFLP on the PCR amplified DNA of the ZFX/ZFY locus. Both heat and ultra-cold shock treatments gave similar amplification of the ZFX/ZFY gene.
