  • Patent number: 11246299
    Abstract: Disease model pigs produced by nuclear transplantation, disease model pigs exhibiting stable phenotypes and production methods thereof are provided. Chimeric pigs for producing disease model pigs exhibiting stable phenotypes, genital glands thereof, and germ cells thereof are also provided. A method for producing a genetically modified disease model pig, includes: (a) transplanting a nucleus of a genetically modified cell into cytoplasm of an egg; (b) developing an obtained clonal embryo in a womb of a female pig to obtain an offspring; and mating the obtained offspring or having the offspring undergo sexual reproduction to further obtain the genetically modified offspring as a disease model pig.

  • Publication number: 20220022433
    Abstract: Provided is a method for developing a secondary organ by using a non-human animal in which organ formation is inhibited, for the purpose of establishing a process for producing a functional cell such as a ? cell within the body of an animal such as a pig, the method including the step of raising a newborn or a fetus of the non-human animal in which organ formation is inhibited by complementing at least a part of the function of the organ whose formation is inhibited.

  • Patent number: 10271542
    Abstract: Provided are 1) a hollow fiber cryopreservation instrument having a long support on which a hollow fiber is placed, wherein the support is formed of a low-temperature-resistant material, and 2) a cell cryopreservation method having a process of placing a hollow fiber on the support of the hollow fiber cryopreservation instrument, and a process of cryopreserving cells in a state in which the hollow fiber is placed on the support.
