Abstract excerpt
An immortal cell line, MMSV-1, has been developed which exhibits many features of the common luminal epithelial cell of the human mammary gland. The cell line was developed by microinjection of SV40 DNA into individual cells in selected colonies in cultures of human milk epithelial cells. Immunohistochemical staining shows that the MMSV-1 cells express keratins 7, 8, 18 and 19 homogeneously in organized filaments...
