Description
One of 6 clones derived from cells implanted into a hamster cheek pouch and then propagated on irradiated feeder layers of human fibroblasts. Cell line releases chorionic gonadotrophin and somatomammotrophin and progesterone. It cell line is also able to transform steroid precursors to oestrone and oestradiol. JEG3 has the same DNA profile as BeWo; it was established by serial cloning of BeWo (see Pattillo & Gey 1968 PMID 4299001).
