Old cow ova nuclei transplanted to young ovum, calf expected
MORIOKA, Japan - A surrogate mother cow (in photo taken Feb. 19) in Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture, is expecting a calf inheriting genetic information from aged female cows. A joint clinic and university team involved in the project said the ova nuclei from the older cows were transplanted into a younger cow's ovum, whose nucleus had been removed, and that the fertilized eggs produced through in vitro fertilization of this ovum were then transplanted into four surrogate mother cows, two of which became pregnant.
