Abstract excerpt
The mammary epithelium is composed of a luminal epithelium and a basal layer containing myoepithelial cells and undifferentiated precursors. Basal cells express specific protein markers, such as keratin 14 (K14) and P-cadherin. To study the factors that regulate the basal mammary epithelial cell phenotype, we have established two clonal derivatives of the mouse HC11 cell line, BC20 and BC44, expressing high...
