Abstract excerpt
An immortalized implantation site intermediate trophoblastic cell line, IST-1, was established from a human placenta of 7 weeks gestation. IST-1 cells phenotypically resembled the implantation site intermediate trophoblastic cells in situ and expressed Mel-CAM (MUC 18 or CD146). Mel-CAM is a cell...
