Trophoblast Cell Differentiation: Establishment, Characterization, and Modulation of a Rat Trophoblast Cell Line Expressing Members of the Placental Prolactin Family*
1 Dec 1991
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this investigation was to establish and characterize a cell line derived from a rat choriocarcinoma and to evaluate the usefulness of the cell line as an in vitro model for studying trophoblast cell differentiation. A cell line was generated from choriocarcinoma explants and named Rcho-1. The cell line consisted of a mixture of cell types, including small cells growing in clusters and giant cells...
