Hamster Development
From Embryology
Introduction
These are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) ovary (CHO) cells are used widely in research as hosts for protein production. Sexual maturity occurs at about 4 to 6 weeks and hamsters are seasonal breeders (April to October in the northern hemisphere) with several litters of 1 to 13 pups after a gestation period of between 16 to 23 days.
