Results of PBT in animals and humans.

Ref. Species Transfer Method Blastocyst Develop Births Rate Carry-Over Notes
Wang et al., 2014 [31] Mice (NZW and BDF1) HVJ-E PB1T 82.4% (14/17) similar to MST 42.8% (6/14) similar to MST F1 tail: 0% (0/6)
F2 fingers: 0% (0/16) lower to MST
Compared PB1T with MST and PB2T with PNT
PB2T 40% (6/15) lower than PNT 40% (6/15) similar to PNT F1tail: 1.7 ± 2.8%
F2 fingers: 2.9 ± 4.3%
lower than PNT
Ma et al., 2017 [39] Humans HVJ-E PB1T 32.5% (8/25)
lower than control
Not tested Not tested Same group of refs: [19,30,33]
Zhang et al., 2017 [38] Humans HVJ-E PB1T 24.1% (7/29) similar to control Not tested Not tested Data of fresh and cryogenized karyoplast transfers were added up
PB2T 0% (0/17) lower than control Not tested
Wu et al., 2017 [40] Humans HVJ-E PB1T 25.3% (19/75) similar to control and PB2T Not tested Embryos: 0.26% (0.07–0.5%)
ESCs: 0.15% (P5-P20)
Good results due to performing the transfer right after the fertilization (pre-pronucleus)
Same group of ref. [37]
PB2T 27.5% (14/51) similar to control and PB1T Not tested Embryos: 0.37% (0.06–0.7%)
ESCs: 0.22% (P5-P20)

HVJ-E: Sendai virus extract. PB1T: first polar body transfer. PB2T: second polar body transfer. MST: meiotic spindle transfer. PNT: pronucleus transfer. ESCs: embryonic stem cells. F1: first generation. F2: second generation.
