Abstract excerpt
Embryonic stem (ES) cells isolated from late blastocysts can now be maintained in culture in an undifferentiated state provided they are grown in the presence of a specific differentiation inhibitor, known variously as leukaemia inhibiting factor (LIF) or differentiation inhibiting activity (DIA), found at high concentrations in medium conditioned by Buffalo rat liver (BRL) cells. ES cells acquired a...
