Transcription profiling of mouse hematopoietic cells at different differentiation stages: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), progenitor cells (HPCs), and granulocytes somatic cells are more efficient than adult stem cells for cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer

ABSTRACT: Since the creation of Dolly, the first sheep cloned via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), in 1997, more than a dozen species of mammals have been cloned using this technology. One hypothesis for the limited success of cloning via SCNT (1-5%) is that the clones are likely derived from adult stem cells, which form an extremely small fraction in most adult tissues. Support for this hypothesis is that the cloning efficiency of full term development using embryonic stem (ES) cells as nuclear donors is 5-10 times higher than that for somatic cells as nuclear donors. Additionally, cloned pups could not be produced directly from cloned embryos derived from nuclei of differentiated B and T cells or neuronal cells. The question remains: can SCNT-derived animal clones be derived from truly diffe
