Abstract excerpt
Growth characteristics and the expression of trophoblast-associated markers by six cell lines generated from midgestation chorioallantoic placentas of outbred (Holtzman) and inbred (Lewis, PVG.RT Ir8) rats were evaluated. The cells comprising all cell lines were epithelioid (contained cytokeratin-type intermediate filaments), had normal (2n, 4n) DNA content, and synthesized the extracellular matrix glycoprotein...
