16. A method for screening for potential therapeutics that modulate trophoblast development or activity comprising subjecting an isolated preparation of mouse trophoblast stem cells which (i) are capable of indefinite proliferation in vitro in an undifferentiated state;
- (ii) are capable of differentiation into cells of the trophoblast lineage in vivo, and (iii) are diploid trophoblast cells, to a test substance, and comparing the effect of the test substance to a control to determine if the test substance modulates trophoblast development or activity.
