Cells originating from the thymus of newborn mice were fused with mouse oocytes using polyethylene glycol. The behaviour of thymocyte nuclei was studied in non-activated metaphase II oocytes, and in oocytes activated in vitro with ethanol. In non-activated oocytes all thymocyte nuclei undergo premature chromosome condensation with individualization of chromosomes; the chromosomes form separate groups in the cytoplasm, or are assembled around the metaphase II spindle, or located on the extra-spindle. In activated oocytes thymocyte nuclei start to develop along a pronucleus-like pathway (decondensation, visualization of nucleoli, swelling) and increase up to 200 times in volume during 24 h culture in vitro, eventually reaching the size of a fully grown pronucleus. Activation/fusion timing seems to be critical for the full remodelling of thymocyte nuclei. Nuclei introduced before (10-30 min) or shortly after (up to 60 min) activation often grow larger than the female pronucleus. Those introduced into oocytes long before activation (greater than 30 min) undergo premature condensation with subsequent reformation of nuclei that are sometimes deficient (as indicated by the presence of micronuclei), or of hybrid character. Nuclei introduced late after activation (greater than 60 min) are mostly doomed to retarded development. The implications of the present observations for nuclear transfer experiments in mammals are discussed.
