Abstract excerpt
We developed a method of propagating pure first trimester human trophoblast cells growing out of primary explants of mechanically derived chorionic villus fragments (Yagel et al, 1989; Graham et al, 1992). We have now extensively characterized these cells during their initial outgrowth and in lon...
