Correlation of Oct-4 and FGF-4 Gene Expression on Peri-Implantation Bovine Embryos Reconstructed with Various Somatic Cells

  • Published : 2002.06.01

Abstract

The efficiency of animal production using cloning technology is relatively low. It is considered that the nuclear transferred (NT) embryos proceed inappropriate reconstruction with donor-recipient cell, which lead to a abnormal embryo development, and differential expression of mRNA transcript. Especially, the expression of mRNA on peri-implantation stage embryos is very important factor to decide success of implantation and ongoing pregnancy. (omitted)
