Abstract
Isografts of heterotypic recombinants of embryonic mammary epithelium with salivary mesenchyme undergo development morphogenetically resembling that of salivary gland. However, cytodifferentiation of the epithelium is like that of mammary gland. In lactating hosts these isografts respond to endogenous hormonal stimulation and synthesize a milk protein, α-lactalbumin.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
