: This study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Veterinary and Quarantine Service. All protocols were approved by the Committee on Ethics of Animal Experiments of the Chungbuk National University (Permit Number: CBNUR-871-15). The pGFAP- CreER<sup>T2</sup> transgenic piglets used in this study for isolation of samples were research animals produced and reported in our previous study [CitationRef removed]. Surgeries and sacrifice were performed under anesthesia, and all efforts were made to minimize suffering. The 1 mL ketamine (50 mg/mL; Yuhan, Korea) and 3 mL xylazine (100 mg/mL; SF, Korea) were administered via the ear veins for preanesthesia. Then, respiratory anesthesia using isoflurane liquid (Hana Pharm, Korea) was maintained.
