CHoRIoNIC MEMBRANES, in Vltro<br />

Ovjne chorlonic membranes were obtained lmmediateìy after<br />

surgery of pregnant ewes (26,35,55 days of gestation). Chorionic<br />

membranes from several ewes of same gestationaì perjod were pooled<br />

and cut into fragments, rinsed with ice-cold.Hank,s balanced salt<br />

solution' Approximately r00 mg fragnrents were pìaced into a 20 rnr grass<br />

flask and incubated for 30 min in l0 ml of Du.lbecco,s Modified<br />

Eagìe Medium(DMEM) obtaíned from Gibco, New york. Each flask ç6¡_<br />

tained 100 U of PenicilIin-Streptomycin so.lution. After 30 nin<br />

prei ncubat I on"the medium was repìaced with 10 mr of Durbeccors Modified<br />

Eagle Medium (without leucîne) containing 50 uCl,¿ml of 3H_leucine<br />

(specific activity, 70-100 Cilmmol , New Englancl Nuclear Corporation).<br />

The incubation was carried out at 37 C in an atmosphere of gsi¿ O?<br />

and 5% C1r. After 24 hours of incubation, the medium and the tissues<br />

were frozen at -20 C immediateìy unti.l use.<br />
