However, generation of genetically modified NHPs through traditional methods, such as microinjection into the pronuclei of one-cell embryos, is prohibitive due to the targeting efficiency and the number of NHPs needed as oocyte\/zygote donors. Using spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) as the target of gene editing, producing gene-edited sperm for fertilization, is proven to be an effective way to establish gene editing animal disease models. In this experiment, we used ultrasound to guide the echo dense injection needle into the rete testis space, allowing the EGFP lentivirus to be slowly injected at positive pressure from the rete testis into seminiferous tubules. We found Thy1 can be used as a surface marker of cynomolgus monkey SSCs, confirming that SSCs carry the GFP gene. Finally, we successfully obtained transgenic sperm, with a similar freezing and recovery rate to that of WT animals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10020104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T05:04:48Z","timestamp":1675227888000},"page":"104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Generation of Transgenic Sperm Expressing GFP by Lentivirus Transduction of Spermatogonial Stem Cells In Vivo in Cynomolgus Monkeys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Shengnan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanchao","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bingbing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianzhuang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0861-0682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Institute of Primate Translational Medicine, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"740","DOI":"10.1007\/s13238-020-00762-2","article-title":"A human circulating immune cell landscape in aging and COVID-19","volume":"11","author":"Zheng","year":"2020","journal-title":"Protein Cell"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2189","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmet.2021.08.013","article-title":"Fasting blood glucose as a predictor of mortality: Lost in translation","volume":"33","author":"Palliyaguru","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cell Metab."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"836","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2014.01.027","article-title":"Generation of gene-modified cynomolgus monkey via Cas9\/RNA-mediated gene targeting in one-cell embryos","volume":"156","author":"Niu","year":"2014","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0034322","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.00343-22","article-title":"The Lumenal Microbiota Varies Biogeographically in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Rhesus Macaques","volume":"10","author":"Yan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Microbiol.
