This invention relates to a process for breeding animals through cloning as well as animals obtainable with the process, in particular to a process for the reproduction of animal embryos via an efficient nucleus transfer with foetal fibroblasts.

Efficient nuclear transfer using fetal fibroblasts and multiple cloning procedures

The present invention refers to a device and a procedure for the collection and initial preparation of tissue/blood or other sample of nucleated or DNA-containing cells or cell components for molecular genetic investigation. The invented device for the collection and initial preparation of samples of DNA-containing cells includes a sample receiving container and means for the collection of the sample, which is introduced into the sample receiving container after collection of the sample and seals this tightly. The sample receiving container has a base and side walls, is closed with a easily penetrable lid and has&mdash;in an area of the side walls of the container removed from the base&mdash;means to secure the introduced sample collection tool; in the container are substances to protect from DNA-degrading enzymes. The tool for the collection of the sample is so formed that on introduction into the sample receiving container it is secured in place by the means in the sample receiving container for securing, and divides the sample receiving container into at least one sample space, which is limited by the base and the side walls of the sample receiving container and the front end of the sample collection tool.
