Enrichment of Testicular Gonocytes and Genetic Modification Using Lentiviral Transduction in Pigs1

Abstract excerpt

Gonocytes are long-lived primary germ cells that reside in the center of seminiferous cords until differentiation into spermatogonia that drive spermatogenesis. In pigs, gonocytes have research value in the production of transgenic offspring through germline modification and transplantation. However, the rarity of pig gonocytes has raised the need for an efficient isolation method. Therefore, in this study we use...
