We compared the results of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) that leads to full term development of hybrid (B6C3F1 and B6D2F1) and inbred (C57BL/6) mouse embryos. Although fertilization and pre‐implantation development of C57BL/6 eggs were similar to those of F1 hybrid eggs, post‐implantation development of the embryos from C57BL/6 females was significantly poorer than those of the eggs from hybrid females. Reciprocal crosses of C57BL/6 and B6C3F1 gametes revealed that the low rate of post‐implantation development of C57BL/6 embryos was due to oocyte factor(s), rather than the sperm factor. Mol. Reprod.
