Table 4. Results of artificial insemination of eggs derived from a surrogate Patagonian pejerrey mother (#1; transplanted with pejerrey donor germ cells) and from a control pure pejerrey mother with sperm from a pure pejerrey father.
Mother | Time after GCT (months) | Number of eggs (n) | Fertilization rate (n; %) | Hatching rate (n; %) | Donor-derived germline transmission rate (n; %) |
#1 | 7 | 108 | 98(90.7) | 90(91.8) | 47(52.2) |
11 | 120 | 108(90) | 98(90.7) | 39(39.7) | |
Control | 7 | 105 | 100(95.2) | 95(95.0) | NA |
11 | 130 | 123(94.6) | 115(93.4) | NA |
Donor-derived germline transmission rates determined for the same surrogate mother at 7 and 11 months after GCT were not significantly different (Fisher's exact test). NA: not applicable.
