Apoptosis was measured in mammary glands during whole organ culture, to determine whether regression resulting from hormone withdrawal results in epithelial cell death as in vivo involution. Glands were evaluated for morphology and DNA degradation prior to whole organ culture, after lobulo-alveolar
## Abstract We have previously described pluripotent, parityβinduced mammary epithelial cells (PIβMEC) marked by Rosa26βlacZ expression in the mammary glands of parous females. PIβMEC act as lobuleβlimited epithelial stem/progenitor cells. To determine whether parity is necessary to generate PIβMEC
