Presentation Transcript

  1. Biotechnology: Status and Uses Animal Science 434 John J. Parrish

  2. Reproductive Biotechnology's • Artificial insemination • In vitro embryo production • In vivo embryo production • Embryo transfer • Gender selection • Genetic engineering • Cloning

  3. In Vitro Production of Embryos • Oocyte isolation and maturation • Sperm preparation • Sperm capacitation • Fertilization • Embryo Development

  4. Oocyte Aspiration

  5. Searching Isolation

  6. Culture 24 Hours Incubation • Maturation Medium • Tyrode’s • FSH, LH, Estradiol • Fetal Calf Serum 39°C, 5% CO2 in Air

  7. Cumulus Expansion Unexpanded Expanded

  8. Sperm Preparation Semen 45% Percoll 90% Percoll

  9. Fertilization

  10. Embryo Development 2-Cell 4-Cell 8-Cell Morula

  11. Embryo Development Blastocyst

  12. In Vivo Embryo Production • Normal cycling female • horses • Superovulated female • Cattle • Sheep • Goats • Deer • Humans

  13. PGF2a eCG orFSH Multiple Ovulations Estrus Estrus Progesterone From C.L. First Follicular Wave 10-12 Stimulating Follicular Development Multiple Ovulations eCGorFSH Ovulation Estrus Estrus Progesterone From C.L. 17

  14. Stimulating Follicular Development • eCG (PMSG) • Single injection • FSH • 8 injections • AM/PM • Decreasing doses

  15. Day 0 eCG Day 2 AM/PM PGF2a Estrus Day 3.5 to 5 Stimulating Follicular Development AI at 12 and 24 hr after coming into estrus

  16. Day 0-3.5 FSH AM/PM (8 injections) Estrus Day 3.5 to 5 Day 2 AM/PM PGF2a Stimulating Follicular Development AI at 12 and 24 hr after coming into estrus

  17. Embryo Recovery • Early to mid blastocyst • Day 6 to 7 (estrus, breeding = day 0) • Flush uterus • Surgical • Nonsurgical

  18. Procedure for Non-Surgical Embryo Flush

  19. Non-Surgical Embryo Flush

  20. Stage of Embryo at Recovery Tight Morula (day 5 - 7) Early Blastocyst (day 7 - 8) Blastocyst (day 7 - 9)

  21. Embryo Transfer • Recipient must be synchronized with donor or 1 day behind • Surgical • Flank • Nonsurgical • Similar to AI but going through diestrus cervix

  22. Success (pregnancy rate) • In vivo embryos • Fresh (60%) • Frozen (50%) • In Vitro embryos • Fresh (40 - 50%, sometimes 60% if transfer 2 embryos) • Frozen (30 - 40%)

  23. ET - Scheme

  24. Embryo Transfer Uses • Introduction of new genetics • Import/Export • Twinning • Coupling with other biotechnologies

  25. Embryo Sexing • Hy Antigen • Associated with male cells • PCR and Detection of Y and X DNA

  26. Hy-Antigen

  27. Octopus Springs - Yellowstone National Park Home of Thermus aquaticus - Taq Polymerase

  28. PCR Approach to Embryo Sexing Y X F M F F F F F F

  29. Sperm Gender Selection Selection of X or Y sperm

  30. PERCENT DNA DIFFERENCES BETWEEN X and Y CHROMOSOME Human 2.9 Cattle 3.8 Chinchilla 7.5 Turkey 0 X Chromosome has more DNA!!!

  31. Flow Cytometer Separation of X and Y Sperm Sperm Stained With DNA Sensitive Fluorescent Dye 9 0° 0° L A S E R - + + - Y s o r t X s o r t

  32. Flow Cytometer for Sperm Separation

  33. Sperm Gender Selection • Flow Cytometry • Only method that works! • Very few sperm recovered • Currently not suitable for AI use • Will be expensive and has reduced fertility

  34. Fetal Sexing OR Ultrasound Evaluation • Day 55 - 65

  35. Cloning Split morula

  36. Cloning by Nuclear Transfer Cycles are limited Only 3 - 4 cycles

  37. First Clones by Nuclear Transfer at the UW

  38. Cloning Uses • Production of identicals • Agricultural uses • Transgenics • Stem cell production and research

  39. Genetic Manipulation

  40. Transgenic for Growth Hormone

  41. Gene Transfer Using Micro-Injection of Pronuclei Less than 1% efficiency

  42. Gene Transfer Using Viral Transfection Better success but left with potential for viral replication

  43. Problems with Gene Transfer • Problem • Need to control site of gene insertion • Need to control number of gene copies inserted • Solution • Do genetic manipulation on cells in culture • Select correct cells for nuclear transfer and cloning

  44. Potential Uses of Genetic Manipulation • Production of spare body parts • Disease resistance • Increased production traits

  45. Gender Selected Semen

  46. Dairy Production in the Tropics • The F1 - Holstein X Native Cow best in milk production • Any cross to get F2 is not as good as F1 • Potential in vitro embryo production • Import Holstein oocytes from US • Use native semen • Produce F1 cross embryo and implant in an F1 cow
