Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for producing somatic cell cloned bovine blastocysts. Background technique
[0002] Mammalian somatic cell cloning refers to the transfer of somatic cell nuclei into enucleated recipient cells (mature oocytes or fertilized eggs), and new reconstructed embryos are reprogrammed, divided, differentiated and developed according to the genetic information of the donor. The more popular methods of somatic cell nuclear transfer are manual cloning and micromanipulation.
[0003] The efficiency of cloning technology itself is affected by various links, including the enucleation of oocytes, somatic cell injection into oocytes, fusion of enucleated oocytes and somatic cells, activation of reconstructed embryos, and in vitro culture of reconstructed embryos.
[0004] During the cloning process, the denucleation of mature oocytes is an important part of nuclear transfer technology, which requires complete removal while minimizing damage to...
