Abstract
TAKEMATSU, H., MARUYAMA, T., KATAOKA, S. and SEIJI, M. Establishment of Pigmented Melanocyte Culture Strain from Harding-Passey Melanoma. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 134 (3), 339-340-A cultured cell strain of melanotic melanoma was established from Harding-Passey mouse melanoma. The established cells proliferated as a monolayer culture and actively produced melanin pigment. Under an electron microscope, these cells showed the typical characteristic features of the melanocyte. When a cell suspension was inoculated into Swiss mice, they developed typical melanocytic tumors which closely resembled the original melanomas.
