ABSTRACT
20
Most mammalian oocytes are arrested at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage by
22
activation of Wee1B. Meiotic resumption is regulated by inactivation of Wee1B and
23
activation of cell division cycle 25B (cdc25B). The aim of this study was to determine
24
whether treatment with Wee1B-targeting small interfering RNA (Wee1B-siRNA) promotes
25
nuclear maturation of canine oocytes from GV stage to metaphase II (MII) stage. In
26
Experiment 1, the percentage of canine oocytes that matured to MII stage was higher (P
