## Abstract In this study, we have examined the profiles of proteins synthesized by mammalian oocytes in the presence and absence of cumulus cells. The results show that the patterns of protein synthesis are broadly similar in cumulusβenclosed and denuded oocytes, but that as a consequence of remov

## Abstract Intact ovarian follicles and isolated oocytes were cultured for 30 sec to 18 hr in the presence of gonadotrophins, and the cyclic AMP content in the follicle and oocyte was measured. The basal content of cyclic AMP in ovine oocytes before gonadotrophic stimulation was 6.3 Β± 0.7 fmol/ooc
The role of granulosa cells in the regulation of mouse ovarian oocyte metabolism was investigated. Fully grown antral oocytes, isolated from surrounding cumulus cells, were cultured on monolayers of preantral granulosa cells in the presence of dbcAMP to prevent the resumption of meiosis. Under these
## Abstract Four known carcinogenic compounds, all of which contain the nitroso group, have been found to be effective in producing cell killing, chromatid breaks, mutagenesis and chromatid rearrangements in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Single cell survival curves revealed these agents to exhibit a
## Abstract Evidence is presented that strongly supports the hypothesis that the junctional association between oocytes and granulosa cells must be maintained to promote oocyte growth and development in vitro and that the coculture of oocytes with granulosa cells is not a sufficient condition for o
Chincsc hamster ovary cells with a deficiency i n Serine Hydroxymethylase which produces a specific glycine auxotrophy (gly-A) were fused with human cells from a variety of sources and the resulting hybrids analyzed for human gene linkage. Of 102 hybrid clones examined 65 possessed both glyA and lac
