Comparison of Oocyte-Activating Agents for Mouse Cloning
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Since somatic cell components are unable to activate oocytes following injection or fusion, enucleated oocytes receiving adult somatic cells during the cloning process must be activated artificially for their development. We compared the efficiency of four types of oocyte-activating agents: strontium, ethanol, single electric pulse, and spermatozoa. Although strontium was the best in supporting preimplantation...
