We have developed and evaluated methods of culturing defined stromal and epithelial populations of normal human breast cells. These cell populations were used to generate radiation dose/survival curves. The epithelial cell population required specific hormones, growth factors, and conditioned media, as well as fibroblast feeder layers for clonal growth. Stromal cells grew well in a less complex medium. The stromal and parenchymal cell populations of the normal human breast were characterized by light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemical human fibronectin staining, gamma glutamyltranspeptidase histochemical staining, and cell sizing. Survival curves were generated using cells from four donors. The averageD0for epithelial cells was 122 cGy, with an averagenvalue of 2·4. The averageD0andnvalues for stromal cells were 114 cGy and 2·0. The survival of human breast epithelial cells is compared to that of the cells of the rat mammary gland. TheD0values of both species are essentially the same, while thenvalue for human epithelial cells is lower. This difference in thenvalue may be a species specific response to radiation, or may merely reflect a difference in the two assay systems used to generate the survival curves.
