Japanese scientists Mice Cloned from Blood Drop




TOKYO - Japanese scientists successfully cloned a mouse from a drop of blood. The BBC reported that blood cells are taken from donor rats that will be used for cloning.

Teams from Riken Bioresource Center managed to make a female mouse can give birth to a normal life and youth. Scientists at institutions recently created nearly 600 genetic copy of a rat tail.

Mice cloned from a variety of sources including the donor cells are white blood cells are found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and liver.

Japanese research group investigated whether blood circulation could be used for cloning. Their goal is to find an easy source of donor cells to clone mice.

The team led by Ogura Asuo taking blood from donor rats, isolating white blood cells, and uses the core for cloning experiments. They use the same technique to produce Dolly the sheep in Edinburg.

Their findings are included in a U.S. journal, Biology of Reproduction. They say the study shows for the first time can be cloned mice using peripheral blood cell nucleus.
