| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to investigate the regulatory mechanism of gene expression of sex steroid hormone receptors, especially estrogen receptor alpha, using the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique. However, the studies in the first and second years of this project revealed that the SCNT technique is difficult to be applied on the study because of immaturity of the technique. Thus, I focused on the improvement of the technique in this project. As the result, I have revealed that the frozen-thawed ooplasm can be used for the SCNT for the first time.
