A locket with an illumination source utilized in combination with a neck chain. The locket includes an upper member containing a battery-operated illumination source such as a LED, a lower member including an open button and a clip receptacle, and a hinge, preferably a ratcheting-type hinge, connecting the upper member and the lower member. The open button disengages a locking clip disposed in the upper member from the clip receptacle to open the locket and can be in operational communication with the light emitting diode to activate the light emitting diode when the locket is in any open position. An aperture in the hinge removably slidably receives a neck chain therethrough. The ratcheting type first hinge selectively temporarily locks the locket in a selected open position. The locket also includes a magnifying glass pivotally disposed between an upper member and a lower member of the locket.

The use of totipotent embryonic stem cells to provide substantially identical cells for embryo cloning techniques is described. The method includes the culture of loose suspensions of inner cell mass cells of bovine animals to retrieve large populations of stem cells. The invention also describes the use of stem cells in various genetic manipulation techniques.

Culture of totipotent embryonic inner cells mass cells and production of

The present invention is directed to a bovine embryo culture medium. The medium includes a culture solution containing the nutritional substances necessary to support a bovine embryo. One of the nutritional substances is hemicalcium lactate in an amount effective to maintain the health and viability of the bovine embryo. The culture medium is a preferred nuclear transfer medium.
