- <!g>Transgenic ES-like cells were injected into preimplantation embryos and
transferred into surrogate mothers
- Six out of seven animals born were found onimeric for at least one tissue
and overall onimerism was detected in derivatives from the three germ
layers: actoderm, <!g>mesoderm and <!g>endoderm
- In <!g>bovine, embryonic <!g>pluripotent cells can be generated from somatic cells

- Differentiation was induced by injection of cell into immuno-deficient
mice
- Two months after injection, teratomas were produced that included bone,
muscle, gut, kidney neurons
- For transplantation therapies, a pure population of cells must be obtained
