Nuclear transfer from laboratory cells (jan 1, 1996 – dec 31, 1996)
Description:
In this experiment, the donor nuclei came from a slightly different source: cultured sheep cells.Wilmut and Campbell transferred the nuclei from cultured cells into enucleated sheep egg cells. The lambs born from this procedure were named Megan and Morag. This experiment showed that cultured cells can supply donor nuclei for cloning by nuclear transfer.
