Characterization of primary Wilms tumor cultures as an in vitro model.

Abstract excerpt

Functional analysis of gene candidates and testing of novel therapeutics in Wilms tumors (WT) has been hampered by the lack of in vitro model systems. WT are characterized by a spectrum of histological appearances, but published cell lines are mostly derived from rare anaplastic variants or even non-WT. There has been some success in establishing primary cultures, but these are often poorly characterized or only...
