Abstract
Provided are an animal preparation method and use thereof. The method includes aggregating a tetraploid embryo with embryonic stem cells to form a new reconstructed embryo or chimera embryo, the tetraploid embryo being a tetraploid embryo developed to 2-cell stage. By aggregating a 2-cell tetraploid embryo with embryonic stem cells, problems of poor efficiency and poor stability of mice preparation using the tetraploid complementation technique as well as low efficiency when embryonic stem cells from pure line mice are used are alleviated, the birth rate of mice is improved to a level close to that of normal embryo transplantation, and embryos and adult mice can be directly prepared from stem cells for phenotypic research.
Claims18
A method for preparing a chimeric embryo, comprising aggregating a tetraploid embryo with embryonic stem cells to form a new reconstructed embryo or a chimeric embryo, wherein the tetraploid embryo is a tetraploid embryo at 2-cell stage;
- preferably, the method adopts a tetraploid complementation assay or a tetraploid embryo complementation assay;
- preferably, the method comprises the following steps:
- (1) obtaining an animal 2-cell embryo;
- (2) placing the 2-cell embryo obtained in step (1) in a fusion solution and performing fusion to obtain a tetraploid embryo;
- (3) placing the tetraploid embryo obtained in step (2) in a culture medium and culturing;
- (4) aggregating the tetraploid embryo, which is developed to 2-cell stage in step (3), with embryonic stem cells to form a chimeric embryo;
- preferably, in step (3), the tetraploid embryo is cultured for about 8-24 hours;
- or preferably, the culture medium in step (3) is KSOM medium.
A method for preparing a non-human animal, comprising aggregating a tetraploid embryo with embryonic stem cells to form a new reconstructed embryo or a chimeric embryo, wherein the tetraploid embryo is a tetraploid embryo at 2-cell stage;
- preferably, the method adopts a tetraploid complementation assay or a tetraploid embryo complementation assay;
- preferably, the method comprises the following steps:
- (1) obtaining an animal 2-cell embryo;
- (2) placing the 2-cell embryo obtained in step (1) in a fusion solution and performing fusion to obtain a tetraploid embryo;
- (3) placing the tetraploid embryo obtained in step (2) in a culture medium and culturing;
- (4) aggregating the tetraploid embryo, which is developed to 2-cell stage in step (3), with embryonic stem cells to form a chimeric embryo;
- preferably, in step (3), the tetraploid embryo is cultured for about 8-24 hours;
- or preferably, the culture medium in step (3) is KSOM medium.

- an upstream primer that has at least 85% or at least 90% or at least 91% or at least 92% or at least 93% or at least 94% or at least 95% or at least 96% or at least 97% or at least 98% or at least 99%, or 100% identity to a sequence as shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 19;
- and a downstream primer that has at least 85% or at least 90% or at least 91% or at least 92% or at least 93% or at least 94% or at least 95% or at least 96% or at least 97% or at least 98% or at least 99%, or 100% identity to a sequence as shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 20.
