Abstract
The results of pioneering studies on the development of radically new noninvasive methods for the transplantation of mammalian somatic cell nuclei with the use of optical laser manipulations are presented, and their comparison with traditional invasive methods is performed. It is shown that all the key steps, including the enucleation of a recipient cell, the transfer of a somatic cell (karyoplast), its bringing close together with the recipient cytoplast, and the fusion of the cytoplast with the somatic cell, can be effectively conducted using the laser only with complete replacement by laser of traditional mechanical micromanipulators and other devices, including devices for electrofusion. The results indicate the unique potentialities of laser and the prospects of its application in modern cell engineering in a wide spectrum of studies on oocytes and early mammalian embryos, in particular in technologies of therapeutic and reproductive cloning.
