Effect of ascitic liquid on growth in vitro of embryoid bodies derived from teratocarcinoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Embryoid bodies (EB) derived from teratocarcinoma (TC) OTT6050 were cultured with ascitic liquids (AL) from animals carrying 16-, 22- and 35-day evolved EB. At the same time the presence of fibronectin (FN) in AL were analyzed by immunoblotting. Results indicate the probable existence of growth-stimulatory factors for EB, as well as the presence of FN in the 22-day AL.

Mouse teratomas and embryoid bodies: their induction and differentiation.
Teratomas were induced by the transfer of mouse blastocysts (C3H and 129/J strains) and egg-cylinders (C3H) to extra-uterine sites. C3H and 129/J blastocysts cultured in vitro for 4 or 5 days could also form teratomas in extra-uterine sites. Four transplantable teratomas, or teratocarcinomas, were derived from C3H embryos; embryoid bodies were derived from each line. The differentiative capacit...
متن کاملMultipotentiality of Single Embryonal Carcinoma Cells.
In order to test the hypothesis that embryonal carcinoma cells are multipotential stem cells of a teratocarcinoma, an in vivo cloning technic was designed. Small embryoid bodies containing mostly embryonal carcinoma were obtained from ascitic con version of a murine teratocarcinoma and were dissociated with trypsin to form a sus pension of single cells; the single cells were picked up in small ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neurons
Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. These unique cell lines have the potential to form virtually any cell type in the body and can be propagated in vitro indefinitely in an undifferentiated state. These cells are capable of forming embryoid bodies (EB) that contain cells from all three embryonic lin...
متن کاملThe mode of cell death associated with cavitation in teratocarcinoma-derived embryoid bodies.
Cell death occurring in embryoid bodies derived from the embryonal carcinoma cell line, PSA4, which undergo cavitation, and in those from the related cell line S2, which do not undergo cavitation, was classified as apoptosis or necrosis by ultrastructural criteria. Both modes of cell death were seen in PSA4 embryoid bodies while apoptosis alone was seen in S2 embryoid bodies. No significant dif...

OBJECTIVE Vezf1 encodes an early zinc finger transcription factor that is essential for normal vascular development and functions in a dose-dependent manner. Here, we investigated the role of Vezf1 during processes of endothelial cell differentiation and maturation by studying mutant Vezf1 embryonic stem (ES) cells using the in vitro embryoid body differentiation model and the in vivo teratocar...
