| Title: | Vasectomizing a mouse. | Authors: | Murphy, D. | Issue Date: | 1993 | Citation: | Murphy, D. (1993). Vasectomizing a mouse.. Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) 18 : 137-140. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Vasectomized males are needed to engender pseudopregnancy in mature female mice. Such pseudopregnant females act as hormonally and physiologically competent recipients for microinjected fertilized one-cell eggs (see Chapter 20). Vasectomized males retain their sexual potency and leave a copulatory plug after mating, but, of course, fail to transmit any sperm. Some laboratories use genetically sterile males for this purpose rather than mice rendered sterile by surgery. | Source Title: | Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/115352 | ISSN: | 19406029 |
