Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer in the Pig: Control of Pronuclear Formation and Integration with Improved Methods for Activation and Maintenance of Pregnancy1
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
To clone a pig from somatic cells, we first validated an electrical activation method for use on ovulated oocytes. We then evaluated delayed versus simultaneous activation (DA vs. SA) strategies, the use of 2 nuclear donor cells, and the use of cytoskeletal inhibitors during nuclear transfer. Using enucleated ovulated oocytes as cytoplasts for fetal fibroblast nuclei and transferring cloned embryos into a...
