Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of Bovine Alpha-tocopherol Transfer Protein (α-TTP)

Yoshitomo Taguchi, Mari Komatsu-Tanaka, Norie Hirose, Yurie Kaji & Kazuhiro Saeki · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2017

Aims: To understand the mechanisms by which cattle circulate and accumulate vitamin E, we cloned the cDNA for bovine α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) and examined its expression in different tissues.  Methodology: A full length α-TTP cDNA was amplified from bovine liver by R...

In vitro Development of Chimeric Bovine Embryos Created by Combining a Single Blastomere of SCNT Embryos with an IVF Embryo

Daisaku Iwamoto, Chiaki Takahashi, Tatsuya Nakano, Ahmad. R. Al Himaidi, Masao Kishi & Kazuhiro Saeki · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2014

In this study, we produced chimeric embryos from a single blastomere of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) bovine embryo and in-vitro fertilized (IVF) bovine embryo, and examined the rate of blastocyst development and the contribution of the SCNT blastomere to the blastocyst in...
