Proliferation and phenotypic preservation of rat parotid acinar cells.

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study is to develop an initial step in salivary gland tissue engineering through proliferation and phenotypic preservation of rat parotid acinar cells in vitro. By using the explant outgrowth technique and M199 medium with the addition of sialic acid, acinar cells not only survived for more than 30 days in the absence of basement membrane substrates but also proliferated to yield cells with...
