Abstract

This study was conducted to optimize the efficiency of cloning and to produce cloned mice. The majority of cloned mammals derived by nuclear transfer (NT) die during gestation and have enlarged and dysfunctional placentas. In this study, the optimized conditions were established to produce clone mice. The parthenogenetic oocytes were activated after 6 h regardless of cytochalasin B (CB) concentration. CB treatment ($2{\mu}g/ml$) was found second polar body. Lower concentration of CB was decreased the activation rate, but the second polar body was the best highly increased during 6 h incubation. The small fragments were exhibited in the $5{\mu}g/ml$ treatment of CB, but it was not found in lower concentration groups (> $2.5{\mu}g/ml$). To examine effects of $SrCl_2$ on the adult cumulus cells, somatic cell NT oocytes were exposed during 0.5, 1 and 6 hrs. The second polar body was significantly greater in 0.5 h exposure group (6.6%) than 1, 6 hrs. Developmental rate from 2-cell to 4-cell was the lowest in 7.5 mM Strontium chloride ($SrCl_2$) groups (84.1% and 64.3%) than 5, 10 m $MSrCl_2$. The implantation rate was not significantly difference among 5, 7.5 and 10 m $MSrCl_2$ group. Three live fetuses were produced by SCNT. SCNT placentas were remarkably heavier than IVF group (8 fetuses) (0.34, 0.34, 0.33 vs 0.14 g) compared with the placenta weight of IVF and SCNT clones.
