First, I wish to thank you for challanging me, I found it! Just click below and
you will find quite a few sites discussing yolk sac cell and their on line
addresses. No doubt in my mind you have your answer, have a great day and be a
wonderful nurse! Your friend, Lillian

88% Extragonadal Germ Cell Cancer

Summary: That is, the tumors originate in the sperm forming cells in the
testicles (the males
gonads) or egg producing cells in the ovary (female gonads). Malignant tumors can
be either
seminoma [aka germinoma in females] or nonseminoma (embryonal carcinoma, immature
teratoma,
endodermal sinus tumor [aka yolk sac tumor], choriocarcinoma, and mixed germ cell
tumors).

Summary: 1996 by the National Academy of Sciences ABSTRACT The yolk sac, first
site of
hematopoiesis during mammalian development, contains not only hematopoietic stem
cells but also
the earliest precursors of endothelial cells. Single day 10 embryonic mouse yolk
sac hematopoietic
stem cells were expanded >100 fold within 8 days by coculture with irradiated
C166 cells.

Summary: Mixed Germ Cell Tumor - A tumor containing more than one type of germ
cell cancer
(for example, teratoma and seminoma). As a pure tumor, the yolk sac tumor is the
most common
testicular tumor among infants and children up to age 3. A pure yolk sac tumor is
extremely rare in
adults, but it is seen as a component in a mixed germ cell tumor in about 30% of
cases.

Summary: Therefore, we have developed a system in which a retrovirus carrying
both a
dominantly selectable marker gene (neo) and a particular myb gene is used to
produce an infectious
virus (the small particles budding from the infected cell in the electron
micrograph). This assay has
been used to characterize a variety of mutant forms of the v-Myb and c-Myb
proteins in order to
map protein domains.
