Successful xenogenic spermatogonial stem cells transplantations between mammals have been described and may lead even to successful production of xenogenic offspring. We have developed original method for chicken testes sterilization as well as successful transplantation of testicular cells. Using these techniques, aim of this work will be to verify the possibility of interspecies testicular cells transplantation between bird species (chicken, turkey and pheasant) where sterilized chicken cockerels will be acceptor animals. It may become a powerful tool in avian endangered species conservation. (en)
Cílem projektu je ověřit možnosti mezidruhového přenosu testikulárních buněk mezi drůbežími druhy (kur, krocan, bažant), jako případný nástroj pro zachování druhů.
