Recipient testis no. 1 to no. 8 were harvested 8 weeks after xenotransplantation; no.9 to no.11 were harvested 7, 6, 9 weeks after xenotransplantation.

aestimated number; bcounted number; ccalculated number.

No. human germ cells actually injected = No. human germ cells prepared * % human cells actually injected to recipient; Mean colonization efficiency % = (No. human germ cell colonies obtained after transplantation/No. human germ cells actually injected) * 100.
