Development of Mouse and Rat Oocytes in Chimeric Reaggregated Ovaries after Interspecific Exchange of Somatic and Germ Cell Components1
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
The germ cell and somatic cell compartments of newborn rat and mouse ovaries, which contain only primordial stage follicles, were completely exchanged and reaggregated to produce xenogeneic chimeric ovaries. The reaggregated ovaries were grafted beneath the renal capsules of ovariectomized SCID mice to develop for periods up to 21 days. Xenogeneic follicles developed with essentially normal morphological...
