This suggestion is also consistent with
primary keratinocyte holoclones containing normal stem cells (2 — 4).
Similar to
primary keratinocytes, long - term — cultured squamous cell carcinoma (30) and many other epithelial cancer cells (30, 31) can also form different types of clones in culture.
Primary keratinocytes exhibit three typical clonal morphologies represented by holoclones, meroclones, and paraclones, with holoclones containing self - renewing stem cells, and meroclones and paraclones containing more mature and differentiated cells.

Pioneering work by Barrandon and Green more than 20 years ago (2) showed that when
primary human
keratinocytes were put in culture, their abilities to establish a clone were related to the heterogeneity in cell size — only cells ≤ 11 μm in diameter could form a clone whereas cells ≥ 12 μm were irreversibly committed to terminal differentiation.
