Isolation and characterization of porcine mesenchymal stem cell as a donor for efficient nuclear transfer

Lee Jun Sung , Jung Sung Han , Park Young Bin , Kim Sang Eun , Lee Hoon Taek

Introduction: Nuclear transfer (NT) has used for generating cloned animals or genetically modified animals. However, the efficiency has remained low, because of epigenetic errors that occur during donor cell reprogramming. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were known as undifferentiated state cell compared to somatic cells. Thus MSCs can reduce the chance of error that can be occurred during reprogramming process and can be easily isolated from adult, while embryonic stem cells ar...
