Porcine Alveolar Epithelial Cells in Primary Culture: Morphological, Bioelectrical and Immunocytochemical Characterization

摘要

The purpose of this study was to establish a primary culture of porcine lung epithelial cells as an alternative to the currently existing cell cultures from other species, such as e.g., rat or human. Primary porcine lung epithelial cells were isolated, cultivated and analyzed at distinct time points after isolation.
