Growth on 0.1% gelatin-coated dishes. Can be induced to differentiate into parietal or visceral endoderm by retinoic acid LTR blocked, permissive upon differentiation. Obtained from Dr. M.I. Sherman, Dept. Cell Biology, H La Roche Research Center, Nutley, N.J. 07110.

Cell line available for distribution. For non-commercial investigative use only
PROPERTIES: The cells undergo very limited differentiation under normal culture conditions, but can be induced to differentiate into a) parietal endoderm in the presence of retinoic acid (RA) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP; b) visceral endoderm when cultured in suspension as aggregates and treated with RA. Differentiation markers are: tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) for parietal endoderm cells; alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) for visceral endoderm cells. In addition, both cell types lose the stage specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1), and synthesize large amounts of type IV collagen, laminin and fibronectin.
