Effects of serum starvation and re-cloning on the efficiency of nuclear transfer using bovine fetal fibroblasts
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
The developmental potential of bovine fetal fibroblasts was evaluated using nuclear transfer. Fibroblasts from a 37-day-old fetus were fused to enucleated oocytes before activation. Nuclei of starved (cultured for 8 days in medium containing 0.5% serum) fibroblasts supported the development of reconstructed embryos to the blastocyst stage significantly better than those of non-starved fibroblasts (39% versus 20%;...
