METHOD FOR CLONING ANIMALS WITH TARGETTED GENETIC ALTERATIONS BY TRANSFER OF LONG-TERM CULTURED MALE OR FEMALE SOMATIC CELL NUCLEI, COMPRISING ARTIFICIALLY-INDUCED GENETIC ALTERATIONS, TO ENUCLEATED RECIPIENT CELLS

摘要

An improved method of nuclear transfer employing long-term cultured somatic cells as the donor cells and enucleated oocytes as the recipient cells to produce dividing cybrids. Such cybrids are useful for developing viable animals clones when nurtured in a suitable host environment.
