## Abstract The cultivation of mouse epidermal cells in medium of reduced calcium concentration (0.02β0.1 mM) selects for basal cell growth. Elevation of medium calcium levels above 0.1 mM results in rapid and well defined differentiative changes. This model was utilized to determine which cell typ

β¦ Synopsis
A method for the selective separation of human epidermal cells, in which the Feulgen-stainable material suffers minimal damage, was investigated. The principal stage involves alpha-chymotrypsin treatment of skin specimens as well as shaking in an isotonic solution. With respect to DNA distribution pattern, there was good agreement between that of epidermal cells separated with the microdissection-ultrasonic irradiation method, reported previously by us, and those separated by the present method.

## Abstract During renewal of the lizard epidermis, the rate of new cell production varies cyclically from a low level (resting stage) to a high level (renewal stage). Renewal involves the formation and shedding of an βepidermal generationβ in which cells of the outermost layers synthesize beta ker
After immortalization of human normal mammary epithelial cells by replication-defective SV40 genome integration, 2 cultures were developed independently. Both had the same integration site, in band 9q2 I, but rapidly diverged karyotypically. After a few passages, one, designated SCZT2, exhibited nea
