Abstract excerpt
ED(27) trophoblast-like cells were prepared from human chorionic villus samples obtained at 9 weeks gestation and have been grown continuously in vitro without phenotypic drift for nearly a decade. These cells express many trophoblast markers, including cytokeratin, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), secretion of 17beta-estradiol, and a microvillous apical surface. The ED(27) cell line is a useful model...
