Bovine fetal microchimerism in normal and embryo transfer pregnancies and its implications for biotechnology applications in cattle
7 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Fetal cells and DNA have been detected in the maternal circulation during and after pregnancy in a few mammalian species. The incidence of similar microchimerism in cattle could have repercussion for the application of modern biotechnologies such as the transfer of transgenic embryos. To determine if feto-maternal leakage can occur in pregnant cows, we have analyzed maternal blood samples for the presence of...
