The present invention provides data to demonstrate that the re-fusion, of
a mammalian karyoplast to an enucleated in vivo ovulated oocyte,
following an unsuccessful initial simultaneous electrical fusion and
activation event offers an additional alternative and improvement in the
creation of activated and fused nuclear transfer-capable embryos for the
production of live offspring in various mammalian non-human species
including goats, pigs, rodents, primates, rabbits and cattle.
Additionally, multiple electrical pulses offers an alternative and more
efficient activation method in a simultaneous fusion and activation
methodology for viable offspring production in a animal nuclear transfer
program.
