초록

Collection of large number of gonadal Primordial germ cells(gPGCs) is a prerequisite factor for improving germline transmission efficacy in the aves, In this study a magnetic-activated cell sorter(MACS) was applied for improving retrieval efficacy of quail gPGCs and the migration capacity of MACS-separated gPGCs was further examined after being transplanted to recipient embryos. We also induced germline chimeras by transfer of MACS-separated quail gPGCs at the efficiency of 17.4% on average.
