Increasing the Colonisation and Proliferation of Blue Catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) Donor Stem Cells to Produce Xenogeneic Catfish: Determining the Triploid Channel Catfish's Ideal Host Age (I. Punctatus)

Eric Allanson

For the creation of hybrid catfish (channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and blue catfish, I. furcatus) embryos, xenogenesis is a cutting-edge method. Undifferentiated diploid germline stem cells from donor fish can be used to perform the xenogeneic procedure by transplanting them into sterile recipients. With this technique, receivers can develop gametes originating from donors. Prior to recently, there was little understanding of the ideal age to inject cells into hosts when donor cells were transplanted.
