Microinjection of Cytoplasm or Mitochondria Derived from Somatic Cells Affects Parthenogenetic Development of Murine Oocytes1
17 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Cloned mammals are readily obtained by nuclear transfer using cultured somatic cells; however, the rate of generating live offspring from the reconstructed embryos remains low. In nuclear transfer procedures, varying quantities of donor cell mitochondria are transferred with nuclei into recipient oocytes, and mitochondrial heteroplasmy has been observed. A mouse model was used to examine whether transferred...
