Approaches To the Biochemistry of Differentiation of Mouse Embryonal Carcinoma Cells

  • Chapter
Gene Expression in Normal and Transformed Cells

Abstract

A complete interrelationship has now been demonstrated between mouse embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells and normal mouse embryos (1, Figure 1). EC cells are probably homologous with 5.5 day old mouse embryo epiblast (2,3).
