Abstract

Normal human mammary epithelial cells were cultivated from postnursing fluids. The cells were grown in medium containing autologous serum. These cells incorporated 3H uridine into a particle which appeared in the culture supernatant and which had a density of 1.16-1.19 g/cc. Both the cells and the supernatants showed 70S RNA and transverse transcriptase activity, as determined by the simultaneous detection test.
