The maxiHary regions of day−125 and day−1351CR mouse fetuses were cultivated 重n a cheIpically −defined serumless medium by a suspension culture technique to examine the toxic effects of 5−fluorouraci1 (5−FU )and hydroxyurea(HU )on cultured palates and to compare the sensitivity of fetal mouse palates at different s ages of develop− ment . The palates of day−12.5 and day−135 fe...
