This invention discloses a substantially pure population of human
Mullerian duct-derived epithelial cells and methods of isolating and
culturing the Mullerian duct-derived epithelial cells. By carefully
manipulating the microenvironment in which the Mullerian duct-derived
epithelial cells are grown, multiple passages are attainable wherein the
Mullerian duct-derived epithelial cells are capable of becoming uterine,
cervical, vaginal, and oviductal cells. In addition, several uses of
human Mullerian duct-derived epithelial cells and cells differentiating
therefrom are disclosed herein.
