original cell (control)
Explanation:
the original, non-transfected cell serves as a control, you could say original cell, original cell line (since they won't do this with one cell), or original cell (control)
It is not specified in the text you provide that that cell is a zygote (fertilized egg cell). Unless it is provided, I would not use that, too specific, and may be incorrect

Thank you, Sigrid. That's what I'll use. It's not a zygote and also not a stem cell. German texts differentiate between Stammzelle and Ausgangszelle.

maybe you could also call it a \'single fertilized egg(cell)\'

disagree Sigrid Junkermann: the original cell in this context does not have to be a zygote
