Propagation of fetal human RPE cells: Preservation of original culture morphology after serial passage
1 Apr 1990
Abstract excerpt
The permissive effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) on in vitro growth and differentiation of fetal human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have been studied. Factors which enhanced the effect of ECM to support cell division were also examined, including growth factors, culture media, and serum requirement. Under the specific culture conditions we have defined, it is possible to propagate these RPE cells at...
