Abstract
The use of totipotent embryonic stem cells to provide substantially identical cells for embryo cloning techniques is described. The method includes the culture of loose suspensions of inner cell mass cells of bovine animals to retrieve large populations of stem cells. The invention also describes the use of stem cells in various genetic manipulation techniques.
