title: Mouse ovarian tumor cells: an experimental model for progestin-mediated radiotherapy.
abstract: Mouse ovarian tumor (MOT) cells have been grown in C3HeB/FeJ mice as an ascites and as a subcutaneous tumor and in cell culture as a suspension. These cells contain saturable, high-affinity, specific progesterone receptors. Estrogen receptors were not detectable in these cells. MOT cells can be used as both an in vivo and an in vitro model for progestin-mediated radiotherapy.
