title: In vitro culture of chick down feather bulbi: a tool to obtain proliferating and differentiating keratinocytes in an organotypic structure.
abstract: Chick down feather bulbi can be cultured in different culture systems. Morphological analysis and 3H-thymidine incorporation measurements prove that the majority of cells are viable epithelial cells.
