Optimisation of media for the culture of normal human epithelial cells from oesophageal mucosa

Abstract

A technique has been developed which allows growth and histology/cytochemistry of primary oesophageal mucosal explant cultures to be monitored over four weeks. The paper describes experiments designed to optimise media and culture conditions. The results suggest that optimal growth can be obtained in media containing RPMI 1640, and 10% horse or newborn calf serum. McCoy's 5A medium or Dulbecco's modified MEM could be substituted for RPMI but …
