title: Tubular explant culture of fetal Syrian golden hamster tracheae.
abstract: Two types of organ culture technique (stationary and rocking) were compared for their ability to maintain the epithelial structures in the tubular explants of fetal Syrian golden hamster tracheae. A simple new technique has been devised for the organ culture of small tubular explants of fetal tracheae. A large pore-sized membrane filter is introduced into the rocking culture, which improves unfavourable in vitro effects of the stationary technique.
