As the use of genetically engineered mouse models continues to expand, the need to cryopreserve strains of mice increases in parallel in order to preserve these unique research resources and provide a low-cost alternative to maintaining the large inventory of strains. This chapter discusses methods for the cryopreservation of mouse embryos, sperm, and oocytes, and briefly discusses other requirements for implementing a successful cryopreservation program.
