The success of cultivation of epithelial cells from normal, neoplastic and preneoplastic tissues is reviewed. MCDB 170 medium with special supplements is useful for epithelial cell culture. The epithelial character was demonstrated by the reaction with 3 different monoclonal antibodies. Most cell populations from preneoplastic and neoplastic tissues were identified as fibroblasts. Cell proliferation as measured by cell doubling time, labeling index, flow cytometry did not differ between the tissue types examined. Only 3H-thymidine uptake showed an increased tendency in cells from preneoplastic and neoplastic tissues. The use of normal human breast epithelial cells for molecular biological studies is recommended.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
