The importance of mice as animal model for research has promoted the surge of many strains with important characteristics which need to be preserved. Embryo cryopreservation appears as the most suitable technique. However, until now there is not an effective methodology for this specie. This study aimed to evaluate three methods for mice embryos cryopreservation.(AU)
