Table 2. Efficiency of steps in cloned process from oocytes to transgenic calves.
Step | Total No. | Percent* |
Oocytes | 844 | – |
Re-constructed embryos | 623/844 | 73.8 |
Blastocysts | 280/623 | 44.9 |
Transferred recipients | 50/98† | 51.0 |
Pregnant | 10/50 | 20.0 |
Born alive | 5/10 | 50.0 |
Alive after weaning | 2/98 | 2.04 |
Percent indicate the percentage of embryos obtained successfully each step.
96 blastocysts were transferred to 48 recipients with two blastocysts per recipient and 2 blastocysts were transferred to 2 recipients with one blastocyst per recipient.
