Hi everyone!
I would like to perform an experiment on meiotic metaphase I (MI) spindle in mouse oocytes and I am looking for a substance to add to the maturation media M2, able to impede/disrupt spindle formation for the whole duration of maturation to metaphase I. In the past I used Monastrol [10 µM], but in that case I treated the oocytes post-maturation for only 1h.
Do you have any reference of Monastrol used for the whole IVM maturation? What othe substance may I use to dsrupt the meiotic spindle?
