Abstract:
A method for obtaining trophoblastic cell cultures from first-trimester human placental villi is described. The essential feature of the method is the use of serum from a pregnant woman in the culture medium. Using this technique, pure cultures of trophoblastic cells are produced in 88 per cent of cases.
