A New Method to Isolate and Culture Rat Kupffer Cells
BACKGROUND Previous methods for Kupffer cells (KCs) isolation require sophisticated skills and tedious procedures. Few studies have attempted to explore the self-renewal capacity of KCs in vitro. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a simple method for rat KCs isolation and further investigate the mitotic potential of KCs in vitro. METHODS KCs were obtained by performing one-step...
متن کاملMass isolation and culture of rat kupffer cells
Collagenase perfusion of the liver followed by pronase treatment of the cell suspension thus obtained gave a quantitative recovery of viable nonparenchymal liver cells (NPC). From these NPC, Kupffer (K) cells can be purified by attachment to tissue culture dishes. Tail vein injection of carbon 1-2 h before liver perfusion permitted stepwise calculation as well as visualization of carbon-contain...
متن کاملA micromass culture method for rat embryonic neural cells.
A method of culturing early (13-day) rat embryo neural cells is described. Undifferentiated neural epithelium is disaggregated and cultured in small discrete islands. Cells that destined to differentiate as neurons actively segregate from the other cells in the island and aggregate together into small clumps. Other cells flatten and attach to the substrate and resemble typical fibroblasts throu...
متن کاملPrimary Culture of Rat Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: A New Method
BACKGROUND Developing a simple and efficient method of obtaining primary cultured VSMCs is necessary for basic cardiovascular research. MATERIAL AND METHODS The procedure of our new method mainly includes 6 steps: isolation of the aortic artery, removal of the fat tissue around the artery, separation of the media, cutting the media into small tissue blocks, transferring the tissue blocks to cel...
متن کاملA new method to monitor Kupffer-cell function continuously in the perfused rat liver. Dissociation of glycogenolysis from particle phagocytosis.
In order to study particle phagocytosis and glycogenolysis simultaneously, this study was designed to develop a direct-read-out method to monitor Kupffer-cell function continuously, based on the uptake of colloidal carbon by the isolated perfused rat liver. Livers were perfused for 20 min with Krebs-Henseleit buffer saturated with O2/CO2 (19:1). Colloidal carbon (1-2 mg/ml) was added to the buf...
