Studies of three canine mammary carcinoma cell lines--I. In vitro properties.
Three cells lines, REM 134, 111 and 367, have been derived from canine mammary carcinomas and their morphological characteristics in vitro are described. They are tumorigenic in athymic nude mice, have no demonstrable fibronectin on their cell surfaces and exhibit a varied pattern of lectin binding. They can be cloned in semi-solid agar. One line, REM 134, responds to oestrogen and luteotropic hormone in vitro, although none of the three had demonstrable oestrogen receptors.
