    Abstract: Provided is a transgenic animal model for testing immunogenicity and protective efficacy of human vaccines and the method for generating such a multitransgenic animal. Also disclosed are methods for screening compositions for human vaccine development. More specifically, a mouse model capable of expressing human leukocyte antigen DR4, and human costimulatory molecules (CD80) upon infusion of human HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cells, which can develop into a functional human immune system is provided.

    Abstract: An embryo from a female animal is transferred to another animal by determining presence of an embryo in the uterus of a donor animal by ultra-sonic imaging and inserting an endoscope vaginally into the uterus to a location adjacent the embryo. A tool of the endoscope projects to a position to extract the embryo washed into a container of the tool which is then closed by moving a closure part to enclose the embryo and extracting the endoscope to remove the embryo for transfer to a recipient animal. The fluid into the container can be controlled in pressure to maintain a required pressure generally matching that inside the uterus.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a non-human, mammalian oocyte carrying a modified target sequence in its genome, the method comprising the steps of introducing into a non-human, mammalian oocyte: (a) a clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9 protein) or a nucleic acid molecule encoding said Cas9 protein; and (b-i) a target sequence specific CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a trans-activating crRNA (tracr RNA) or a nucleic acid molecule encoding said RNAs; or (b-ii) a chimaeric RNA sequence comprising a target sequence specific crRNA and tracrRNA or a nucleic acid molecule encoding said RNA; wherein the Cas9 protein introduced in (a) and the RNA sequence(s) introduced in (b-i) or (b-ii) form a protein/RNA complex that specifically binds to the target sequence and introduces a single or double strand break within the target sequence. The present invention further relates to the method of the invention, wherein the target sequence is modified by homologous recombination with a donor nucleic acid sequence further comprising the step: (c) introducing a nucleic acid molecule into the cell, wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises the donor nucleic acid sequence and regions homologous to the target sequence. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a non-human mammal carrying a modified target sequence in its genome.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for reducing the generation interval and advancing genetic gain in bovines via pregnancies created by oocytes harvested from select prepubertal female calves less than six months of age and/or from smaller framed bovine breeds less than ten months of age, and alternatively less than nine months of age. Said animals are treated with a hormone regiment to advance the first pubertal estrus in order to retrieve oocytes for fertilization and implantation. Oocytes are collected from said animals via laparoscopic aspiration. In the case of oocytes that have not matured in vivo, the oocytes are transferred to and cultured to maturation. Once matured, oocytes are fertilized, and the resultant embryos are transferred to synchronized recipients.
