Effects of genic substitution at the agouti, brown, albino, dilute, and pink-eyed dilution loci on the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes in serum-free culture.

Abstract excerpt

To examine the effects of coat-color genes on the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes, we cultured epidermal, cell suspensions derived from neonatal skins of C57BL/10JHir (black) and its congenic mice carrying agouti, brown, albino, dilute, and pink-eyed dilution genes in a serum-free medium supplemented with dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. The proliferative rates of...
