| Abstract | Normal mammary epithelial cells from BALB/cfC3H midpregnant mice were freed from stromal cell types by Percoll density gradient centrifugation after collagenase digestion and were then embedded within collagen gels. Sustained growth leading to an increase in cell number was accomplished in response to cholera toxin and high concentrations of horse serum. The extent of growth was found to be dependent on the horse serum concentration, the maximum growth being attained at 50%. A serum concentration of 12.5% horse serum and 2.5% fetal calf serum, along with cholera toxin at 0.01 mug/ml, allowed maintenance but failed to cause any significant increase in cell number during the experimental period of 2 weeks. This same maintenance medium was used to determine the effects of various exogenously added steroids, protein hormones, and organ extracts on the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells in culture. Hormones failed to elicit any proliferative response, but extracts of kidney, brain, uterus, and spleen produced proliferative responses equal to or greater than the response obtained with 50% horse serum and cholera toxin. Kidney extracts prepared from midpregnant mice, virgin mice, and virgin mice given pituitary isografts all showed comparable activities, suggesting that the concentration of stimulatory factor(s) was not influenced by the hormonal status of the donor. Normal mammary epithelial cells that had undergone a 10- to 15-fold increase in cell number over initial values during 2-3 weeks in culture were passaged to secondary gel cultures. Outgrowth similar to those seen in primary culture were seen again in secondary culture. The present system provides a method for sustaining growth in culture of primary mammary epithelial cells from normal tissues. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
