Abstract excerpt

We have established a dermal fibroblast-like stromal cell line, DFB-1, and a clone, 12E2, from epidermal sheets prepared from the skin of BALB/c mouse ears by trypsin digestion. They were suggested to be fibroblasts or myofibroblasts, as 1) they were polygonal or spindle-shaped under the phase-contrast microscope, 2) they did not possess any tonofilaments or desmosomes, and 3) they did not express any marker for...
