Early zygotes are suitable recipients for bovine somatic nuclear transfer and result in cloned offspring
24 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) subverts sperm-mediated fertilization that normally leads to physiological activation of the oocyte. Therefore, artificial activation is required and it is presently unclear what developmental consequences this has. In this study, we aimed to improve cattle cloning efficiency by utilizing a more physiological method of activating SCNT reconstructs. We carried out in...
