A New Method to Produce Artificial Monozygotic Twins in Mice

  • Chapter

  • 106 Accesses

Abstract

The low viability of artificially produced mouse twins described by these authors (Gärtner and Baunack 1981) and others (for references see Tsunoda and McLaren 1983) was the reason to test the validity of the EDTA-method described in this paper.
