Problems solved by technology

[0006] But the prior art methods proved to be unsatisfactory in the sense that the yield of embryos produced by nuclear transfer was low, and the result was low productivity of cloned animals

Embodiment 1

[0039] The present invention is further illustrated with the following examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Example 1: Preparation of Donor Cells and Recipient Oocytes

[0040] In order to prepare donor cells, tissues were collected from the inner skin of Korean bull ears, washed with PBS (phosphate-buffered saline, Gibco's BRL, Life Technology, USA), and crushed to 100 mesh. Then at 39°C, 5% CO 2 Incubate the tissue for 1 hour in PBS containing 0.25% trypsin, 1 mM EDTA and 1 mg / ml type II collagenase, and after the tissue is digested by the enzyme, centrifuge at 1500 rpm for two minutes, then Suspended in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Gibco's BRL, Life Technology, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% NEAA (non-essential amino acids), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Transfer the suspension into a cell culture dish and store at 39°C, 5% CO 2 ambient incubation to obtain somatic cell lines. Thereafter, the cells were treated...

Embodiment 3

[0049] Replace the cutting tube mounted on the micromanipulator with an injection tube. Enucleated oocytes were washed three times with TCM199 wash medium and then pipetted into injection droplets. The donor cells are drawn into the syringe and then transferred into the injection droplet. Figure 4 Indicates the process of transferring a somatic cell into an enucleated oocyte. Such as Figure 4 As shown, enucleated oocytes were placed with their cleft orientation at 1 o'clock, held with a holding tube, and then injected into donor cells through the cleft using a syringe and hydraulic pressure to obtain a reconstructed embryo. Embryos were washed three times with TCM199 wash medium and then incubated in TCM199 wash medium. Example 3: Electrofusion and activation

[0050] Electrofusion and activation Reconstructed embryos were electrofused using an electrocytomanipulator (USA, BTX, ECM2001) and then reactivated. Add 15 microliters containing 0.28M mannitol, 0.5M mhepes (pH7...

Embodiment 4

[0051] For activation, embryos were incubated for 4 minutes in the dark in a solution of ionomycin (Sigma Chemical Co., USA), a TCM199 wash solution containing 5 [mu]M ionomycin and 1% BSA. The ionomycin stock solution was prepared by dissolving 1 mg of ionomycin in 1.34 ml of DMSO. Activated embryos were incubated for 5 minutes in 35 mm dishes containing TCM199 wash medium supplemented with 10% FBS to wash ionomycin from the embryos. Example 4: Post-activation and in vitro culture of electrofused embryos

[0052] The activated embryos were activated for 4 hours in 25 microliters of cycloheximide (Sigma Chemical Co., USA) solution, which was obtained by adding actinomycetes in the culture medium mTALP for in vitro culture. Ketone stock solution (10 mg / ml in ethanol) was prepared by diluting to 10 μg / ml. Embryos were then screened, and the selected embryos were incubated at a temperature of 39°C in 5% CO 2 Incubate for 7 days under ambient conditions.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing cloned cows by employing in vitro maturation of oocyte and nuclear transfer techniques. The method for producing cloned cows of the invention comprises the steps of: preparing donor somatic cells lines collected from cow; maturing oocytes collected from ovary in vitro; removing the cumulus cells surrounding the oocytes; cutting a portion of zona pellucida of the matured oocytes to make a slit, and squeezing out a portion of cytoplasm including the first polar body through the slit to give enucleated recipient oocytes; transferring a nucleus to the recipient oocyte by injection of the donor cells to the enucleated recipient oocytes, followed by the subseuent electrofusion and activation of the electrofused cells to give embryos; postactivating and culturing the embryos in vitro; and, transferring the cultured embryos into surrogate cows to produce cloned calves. The cloned cows can be employed to produce pharmaceuticals or organs, which facilitates their universal uses in medical and livestock industry, and scientific studies as well.

Description

[0001] Background Art of the Invention field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method of producing cloned cattle, and more particularly, to a method of producing cloned cattle derived from somatic cells using in vitro maturation followed by enucleation of oocytes, nuclear transfer, electrofusion and Embryos are activated, post-activated and cultured in vitro, then transferred into surrogate cows. The invention also relates to embryos and cloned cattle produced by the above method. Background of the invention [0003] The production of animals by fertilization, which involves male and female gametes, has long been considered. However, great efforts have been made to produce cloned animals with the same appearance and the same genetic characteristics. [0004] For 30 years it was known that zygote cloning was only possible in amphibians, but cloned progeny have now been successfully produced in mice by replacement of the pronucleus of single-celled zyg...
