  • Patent number: 8124832
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a cloned dog by enucleating an oocyte of a dog to produce an enucleated oocyte, transferring a somatic cell of the dog into the enucleated oocyte, carrying out electrofusion under optimized conditions to produce a nuclear transfer embryo, and transferring the nuclear transfer embryo into its surrogate mother.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2007
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2012
    Assignee: Seoul National University Industry Foundation
    Inventors: Byeong Chun Lee, Sung Keun Kang, Dae Yong Kim, Min Kyu Kim, Goo Jang, Hyun Ju Oh, M. Shamim Hossein, Fibrianto Yuda, Hye Jin Kim, So Gun Hong, Jung Eun Park, Joung Joo Kim
  • Publication number: 20100293626
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the efficiency of offspring production in producing animals belonging to the family Canidae (canines) by somatic cell nuclear transfer. More specifically, relates to a method for increasing the efficiency of production of cloned canines by a method for cloning canines comprising enucleating the oocyte of a canine to prepare an enucleated oocyte, fusing a nuclear donor cell with the enucleated oocyte to prepare a nuclear transfer embryo and transferring the nuclear transfer embryo into the oviduct of a surrogate mother, wherein the nuclear donor cell is cultured in a medium containing a specific cell cycle synchronization-inducing substance such as roscovitine in the preparation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20080295191
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a cloned dog by enucleating an oocyte of a dog to produce an enucleated oocyte, transferring a somatic cell of the dog into the enucleated oocyte, carrying out electrofusion under optimized conditions to produce a nuclear transfer embryo, and transferring the nuclear transfer embryo into its surrogate mother. The method has the effect of producing a cloned dog with high efficiency, and thus can contribute to the development of studies in veterinary medicine, anthropology and medical science, such as the propagation of superior species, xenotransplantation and diseased animal models. In addition, the present invention has the effect of exactly researching production properties of the cloned dog by producing a female cloned dog for the first time, rather than the conventional male cloned dog.
