Abstract excerpt

Starting from the BeWo choriocarcinoma cell line, two stable variant cell lines (epi and lc) were isolated. Epi cells displayed an epithelioid colony morphology while lc were fibroblastoid. lc cells attached and spread on fibronectin-coated surfaces at significantly lower density of fibronectin t...
