Although blastocyst injection is widely used to generate ES cell-mediated knockout mice, coculture method has been alternatively used because of several advantages, such as low cost and simple procedure. Thus, this experiment was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the coculture method using J1 ES cells, which are known to be efficient for blastocyst injection. Eight-cell embryos were harvested from 2.5 days post-coitum (dpc), denuded with acid tyrode's solution, and transferred onto trypsinized J1 ES cells. Aggregation was carried out following two typical methods, which are simple coculture method and aggregation in groove prepared by aggregation needle. Successfully aggregated-embryos were developed to blastocysts for 24 h and transferred into uterus of pseudo-pregnant foster mother. Chimeric offspring was judged by coat pigmentation. In this study, we could obtain chimeric mice from all the two aggregation methods, but the chimera production efficiencies in coculture using groove were three times higher at least than those in the other group. In conclusion, these observations suggest that coculture method should be available for production of knockout mice from J1 ES cells. Presently, the germ-line transmission rates of the chimeras produced from the two methods are under investigation.

Feeder layer는임신 13.5일령의생쥐태아로부터회수한섬유아세포 (mouse embryonic fibroblast, MEF) 를 10 µg/ml mitomycin C (Sigma-aldrich) 로 3시간처리하여준비하였다. 본실험에서사용된 J1 배아줄기세포는 peroxiredoxin 유전자를결실시키는데사용된세포를 subcloning하여사용하였다 세포기와 ES 세포의공배양응집카이미라의생산은단순공배양 (Woods et al., 1993) 및 aggregation needle을이용한공배양법을이용하였다. 간단히요약하면, log phase에서증식중인 J1 배아줄기세포를 0.25% trypsin/5.3 mm EDTA 를처리하여분리하고, 30분동안 37, 5% CO 2 Incubator에서배양하여상층액을회수함으로써용기바닥에먼저고착된 MEF를제거하였다. 단순공배양법에의한응집카이미라의생산을위해배아줄기세포의농도를 /ml로조정한후 60 mm 배양용기 (Nunc) 에 20 µl의미세액적으로제조하였으며, 각미세액적내에약 5~ 10개의투명대가제거된 8-세포기수정란을옮겨 2시간동안공배양하였다 (Fig. 1). 배양후 8-세포기수정란의표면에부착된 ES 세포의수가 5~6개가되도록피펫팅하여조정하였다. 응집이완료된수정란은 0.4% BSA가첨가된 M16 배양액 (Whittingham, 1971) 에넣어 20시간동안 37, 5% CO 2 incu- J1 ES Subclones No. of embryos aggregated Table 1.

The chimeric mice were mated with CD1 mice at 8 weeks old, finding for the germline transmission. 은비용을요하기때문에방법적인개선을위한다양한연구가있어왔다. 특히, 카이미라수정란을제작하는데있어기존에행해져오던실험방법들의이러한문제점을보다개선하기위하여투명대가제거된초기배와의공배양법이고안되었다. 이방법은배반포에미세주입하는방법에비하여고가의장비나, 특수한기술또는많은숙련을요하지않기때문에유전자조작한생쥐의생산을보다용이하게할수있다 (Gen et al., 1999). 카이미라생쥐의생산효율은생쥐의과 배란유도시의반응이나회수한수정란의상태그리고이식되었을때배아줄기세포와수정란의계통적조화 (strain compatibility) 등여러가지요인들에의해결정되며 (Schuster- Gossler et al., 2001), 본연구에서도출된결과들은국내에서는최초로미세주입에전적으로이용되어온 J1 세포또한간단한공배양법에의해카이미라생쥐를생산할수있음을보여준것이라할수있다. 본연구에서는카이미라생쥐를생산하기위하여공배양응집법을사용하였으며그과정에서도배아줄기세포와수정란의응집과정에있어약간의차이를두어실험하였다. 첫번째단순공배양방법은배아줄기세포를배양용기에먼저배양한후그위에수정란을올려놓아응집을유도한것으로써 (Fig. 1A) 현미경하에서확인한결과응집이성공적으로이루어졌음을확인할수있었다 (Fig. 1B). 또다른방법은배양용기에 aggregation needle 로홈을만들고그안에한개의수정란 (Fig. 2A) 과 1~15개의배아줄기세포를넣어 24시간동안응집을유도한것으로써응집이성공적으로이루어졌음을확인할수있었다 (Fig. 2B). 이두방법모두를통해서로유사한산자출생률및생존율을얻을수있었으나카이미라의생산효율은두번째방법이우수한것으로조사되었다. 이러한결과는수정란의표면에붙은배아줄기세포의숫자, 공배양시간및응집력을증가시키는환경조성의중요성을시사한다할수있다. 또한응집수정란의배반포발달

5 률에있어단순응집법 (71.2 및 70.5%, Table 1) 에비해두번째방법 (86.9 및 81.4%, Table 2) 이월등히높은것으로조사되어, 여러가지측면에서후자의방법이보다효율적이라판단되었다. 그러나이러한응집배양간결과의차이가심각하게존재한다할지라도본연구에사용된두가지방법모두에서카이미라생쥐를양산할수있었기때문에 J1 배아줄기세포를이용한유전자결손생쥐생산에미세주입과마찬가지로공배양기법또한효과적으로이용될수있을것으로기대되었다. 현재태어난카이미라생쥐의생식선이행능력을검증하기위하여역교배를실시하고있으며, 이와더불어공배양방법의개선을통하여카이미리즘빈도를재고하기위한다각적인방법을모색중에있다.
