The development of nuclear transfer(NT) embryos generated from Porcine induced pluripotent stem (piPS) cells

NT reconstructed embryos were produced by using PS23 and PS24 cell lines as the donor cell. Embryos at 2-cell, 4-cell and blastocyst stages were shown, and PEF cell was used as control. The number of total embryos and blastocysts were counted and plotted in the right panel. Scale bars, 25 µm.
