Rapid Derivation of Cloning-Competent Cells from Peripheral Blood Advances Conservation Biobanking

Laura Knecht, Anthony Mastracci, Riley Harbert, F Charles, Laura L. Kuperman, Tyler Miyawaki, Gregory L. Gedman, Kathleen M Pirovich, Jason R. Herrick, Linda Lay, Alba Ledesma, Steve Metzler, Dennis Milutinovitch, James B. Papizan, Parker M. Pennington, , James Kehler

This study shows that blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells and pericytes can be used to create viable cell lines faster and more reliably than fibroblasts for conservation biobanking in endangered species.
