Table 1. Efficiency of the ICSI-MGT method for the production of Tg pig fetuses and offspring carrying the Pdx1-Venus gene.
Recipient | No. of embryos transferred | Production efficiency of fetuses or offspring (%)*1 |
Production efficiency of Tg fetuses or offspring (%)*2 |
|
Fetus | W8 | 83 | 8.4 [7/83] | 28.6 [2/7] |
W9 | 81 | 3.7 [3/81] | 100 [3/3] | |
W11 | 79 | 7.6 [6/79] | 33.3 [2/6] | |
Offspring | W10 | 127 | 4.7 [6/127] | 33.3 [2/6] |
*1 No. of fetuses or piglets / No. of embryos transferred × 100. *2 No. of Tg fetuses or piglets / No. of fetuses or piglets obtained × 100.
