Badger luteal tissue fragments harvested and cultivated during the inactive phase do not resemble active corpus luteum as do granulosa cells in vitro. Production of oestrogen and progesterone by these fragments was examined. Amounts produced are much smaller than in the case of granulosa cells and are slightly influenced by the nature of the serum used in culture medium.
