It looks like transfer of embryos between species has been successful, but not clones. I wouldn’t call the panda/rabbit clone in a cat “brought to term”, more like “had promising results”.
One of those two animals seems far easier to bring to term in a cat. The other I am imagining bursting out of the stomach “Aliens” style because there just isn’t any room left!
There was/is a plan to resurrect the Woolly Mammoth, by putting Mammoth dna into an elephant egg.
The Wikipedia page on Interspecific Pregnancy links to an example on a Giant Panda genome put in a rabbit egg and brought to term in a cat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interspecific_pregnancy http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12135908
Also, I think Ventner denucleates the cell of something to serve as the host for his synthetic dna.
