Parthenogenetic Activation of Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) Oocytes and the Development of Marmoset Parthenogenones In Vitro and In Vivo1
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian oocytes can be induced to resume meiosis without fertilization, and the resulting parthenogenetic embryos carry only maternal chromosomes. Human oocytes can be activated by many chemical and physical stimuli, but postimplantation studies of human parthenogenetic embryos are not ethically acceptable.
