title: [Human oogenesis in organ culture].
abstract: The authors compared the extent of development of the germ cells of the human fetus ovaries developing in the organ culture and of control ovaries obtained of fetuses of "equivalent" age. The capacity to enter the meiosis prophase under conditions of the organ culture was expressed by the germ cells of fetuses of 8-9 week of gestation, and older; only individual oocytes reached the leptotene stage in the explants of the ovaries of 7-8 week fetuses. The oocytes at the leptotene, zygotene and pachitene stage appeared in the culture at the same periods as in the organism. However, the percentage of cells of these stages in the explant was as a rule lower than in control ovaries. In case of pulse administration of thymidine-3H into the culture labeled oocytes at the zygotene stage appeared in 4, and at the pachitene stage - in 14 days.
