摘要 |
The present invention relates to an assay for at least one predictive marker in a sample from a mammal wherein a specific reaction for the at least one predictive marker indicates when non-fertilisable ova capable of in vitro maturation (IVM) and subsequent in vitro fertilisation (IVF) are present in the mammal. This is particularly useful in the determination of when non- fertilisable ova, if aspirated, after in vitro maturation to MF-II will be capable of fertilisation and pregnancy after implantation into the female mammal. The assay is based on a sample selected from the group consisting of body secrete, sputum, blood, urine, uterus secretes and cells.
