COVID-19 impacted abattoirs worldwide. The processing lines became a hotspot for the spread of COVID-19 resulting in plant restructuring and ultimately a critical loss of pig material for research. Commercial sources of pig oocytes are available but are costly and companies were already operating at a maximum capacity for supplying the oocyte needs around the United States. Here, we provide an alternative source of oocytes that are competent to produce live, healthy piglets.
新冠疫情对全球屠宰场造成了影响。这些生产线成为了新冠病毒传播的热点,导致工厂重组,最终用于研究的猪材料严重短缺。猪卵母细胞的商业来源是可用的,但成本高昂,而且各公司已经在尽最大能力满足美国各地对卵母细胞的需求。在这里,我们提供了一种有能力生产活的、健康小猪的卵母细胞的替代来源。
