As a part of a basic research project on Xeno-transplantion, we have been engaged in the derivation ofembryonic stem cell lines from Chinese mini swine. Here, we reported for the first time the establishmentof two porcine EG cell lines (BPEG1 and BPEG2) from primordial germ cells of genital ridges of a 28 anda 27 d embryos respectively. Their pluripotent nature has been identified by colony morphology, markercharacterization as well as by in vitro and in vivo differentiation. These porcine EG cells are potentiallyuseful for further basic studies.
