Intercellular communication, as determined by two different assay procedures, was established in vitro between mouse oocytes free of adhering follicle cells and monolayers of either follicle or 3T3 cells. Both of these cell types are known to be able to form homologous gap junctions, and follicle ce

## Abstract This study was designed to classify and differentiate the population of oocytes released from the mouse ovary by mechanical means. Liberated oocytes were classified on the basis of their number, size and by the nature of the attachment of follicle cells to these oocytes. Microscopical e
To investigate mechanisms of follicle cell control on mammalian oocyte growth, preantral mouse oocytes free from surrounding follicle cells were individually cocultured with monolayers of different somatic cells competent to form gap junctions, and the rate of in vitro oocyte growth was directly cor
