Cloning of embryos

Prather R. S. , First N. L. ,

Summary. Nuclear transfer for the study of differentiation in amphibians has been used since the 1950s, but not until recently have the same procedures been applied successfully to some mammals. Nuclear transfer, as developed for the amphibian, is successful in sheep, cattle, rabbit, and pig, but not mouse embryos. This fact is discussed in relation to the species-specific timing of the activation of the zygotic genome. Nuclear transfer to an oocyte presu...

Summary. Recent research clearly shows that fusion genes can be microinjected into a pronucleus of an ovum and integrate into the pig genome. Animals with such fusion genes are called ‘transgenic’. The percentage of injected ova that developed into transgenic pigs varied among experiments from 0.31% to 1.73%. The percentage of transgenic pigs that expressed the fusion gene ranged from 17% to 100%.Eleven different regulatory s...
