Table 4. Developmental competence of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos derived from different types of donor cells.
No. of embryos | No. of cleaved embryos (%) | No. of blastocysts (%) | Cell no. in blastocysts | |
---|---|---|---|---|
FWB | 1120 | 1098 (98.0 ± 0.2) | 442 (39.5 ± 5.1) a | 59.4 ± 4.0 a |
FLWD | 101 | 99 (98.0 ± 2.0) | 35 (34.7 ± 6.6) a | 72.0 ± 4.3 b |
Cumulus | 119 | 114 (95.8 ± 3.4) | 25 (21.0 ± 1.3) b | 59.0 ± 4.9 a |
FWB, fibroblasts from wild boar; FLWD, fibroblasts from Western crossbred pig; Cumulus: cumulus cells from Western crossbred pigs. Three (FLWD and cumulus cells) or eight (FWB cells) replications were performed. a, b Superscript letters denote significant difference in the same column.
