Blood formation in a clonal cell line of mouse teratocarcinoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pluripotent cells of a teratocarcinoma clonal line differentiate into various tissues when they are cultivated in submerged cultures. We describe here the formation of endodermal vesicles and blood islands in organotypic cultures of such cells. These are the first macroscopically visible tissues to appear in organ culture and they give rise to megalocytes, the ultimate stage of blood cell evolution in the normal mouse embryo yolk-sac. As in the normal embryo yolk-sac, the formation of haemoglobin-containing cells stops after a while, but it is not replaced by adult haemopoiesis in culture.

Presence of multipotential hemopoietic cells in teratocarcinoma cultures.
Previous investigations have shown that the teratocarcinoma line PCC3/A/1 is able to differentiate in vitro to produce red blood cells of the primitive hemopoietic cell population of the mouse embryo. The present paper demonstrates the presence in the same cultures of multipotential cells capable of giving rise to colonies containing erythrocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes when stimulated...
متن کاملUltrastructural differentiation of a clonal human embryonal carcinoma cell line in vitro.
A cloned human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cell line 2102Ep derived from a testicular teratocarcinoma was characterized by means of electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. These EC cells when plated at high cell density grow mostly as undifferentiated cells displayed relatively little pleomorphism. Eighty-five to 90% of these cells contain keratin in the form of peridesmosomal tonofilaments....
متن کاملNeural rosette formation within in vitro spheroids of a clonal human teratocarcinoma cell line, PA-1/NR: role of extracellular matrix components in the morphogenesis.
From the human teratocarcinoma-derived cell line PA-1, we established a clonal line, PA-1/NR, that stably produced a distinct cellular arrangement of neural rosettes when cultured as in vitro multicellular spheroids for 3 weeks. On immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence-activated cell sorter analyses, PA-1/NR cells in monolayer expressed the neuroectoderm-associated antigens HNK-1, NC-1, ...
متن کاملThe developmental potential of a euploid male teratocarcinoma cell line after blastocyst injection.
A karyotypically normal male embryonal carcinoma (EC) cell line, P19, produced large numbers of chimaeras in midgestation after groups of cells were injected into mouse blastocysts. A wide variety of apparently normal tissues were colonized by the EC cells but most chimaeras were also morphologically abnormal. Few live chimaeras were produced and all contained tumours of EC cell origin as well ...
متن کاملAn immortalized osteogenic cell line derived from mouse teratocarcinoma is able to mineralize in vivo and in vitro
The hybrid plasmid pK4 containing the early genes of the simian virus SV-40, under the control of the adenovirus type 5 E1a promoter, was introduced into the multipotent embryonal carcinoma (EC) 1003. Expression of the SV-40 oncogenes was observed at the EC cell stage, and this allowed the derivation of immortalized cells corresponding to early stages of differentiation. Among the immortalized ...
