Abstract

Embryonic germ (EG) cells are undifferentiated stem cells isolated from cultured primodial germ cells (PGC). These cells share many characteristics with embryonic stem cells including their morphology and pluripotency. Undifferentiated porcine EG cell lines demonstrating capacities of both in vitro and in vivo differentiation have been established. (omitted)
