| Research Abstract |
We verified the formation of a normal inner ear by blastocyst complementation. First, kidney formation by blastocyst complementation already have been reported in Sall1 knockout mice. From the work of Sall1 during development, the lack of the inner ear was expected in this Sall1 knockout mice. But normal inner ear formation were observed in the knockout mice. Then, we investigated the formation of a normal inner ear by blastocyst complementation in Pax2 or Six1 knockout mice. The deficient in the inner ear formation have been reported previously in these knockout mice. We obtained some inner ear formed mice from the GFP-positive ES cells injected into these knockout blastocysts. But wecouldn’t find the GFP-positive inner ear cells in those mice. As a result, we could not confirm the blastocyst complementation.
