Effects of protein phosphatase 1/2A inhibition on oocyte chromatin condensation. (A) Photograph of an oocyte stained with aceto-orcein displaying the metaphase I chromatin configuration after 24 hours of IVM. (B) OA-treated oocyte (2 μM) after 24 hours of IVM displaying condensed bivalent chromatin that is scattered in the cytoplasm. Pictures were acquired on a Nikon Eclipse E600 with a Qimaging Retiga 1300 camera. The original magnification was X400.
