Abstract

Nonhuman primates (NHP) are the closest animal species to humans and have been widely used for studying human reproductive physiology. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Old World NHPs provides great opportunity for studying fertilization, embryo development, embryonic stem cell (ESC) derivation for regenerative medicine, somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning), and transgenic NHP models of inherited genetic disorders. Here we present two ART protocols developed for rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) and baboon (Papio cynocephalus).
