ES Cell Injection

Embryonic stem cell injection

For the research of genetic related diseases, knock-out mice are often used. To generate this animals, embryonic stem cells are injected into the blastocoel of mouse blastocysts. This results in an animal with a pattern (e.g. specific organs) of "normal" and transgenic tissue.
Leica offers currently the following combinations of microscopes and micromanipulators for ES cell injection.
