title: [Obtaining a primary mouse hepatocyte culture].
abstract: A method of isolating and culturing mouse hepatocytes is described. The mouse liver was subsequently perfused in situ with Ca-free and collagenase containing solutions, mechanically dispersed and purified by centrifugation. The suspension obtained contained up to 10(7) parenchymal cells, whose viability being not less than 80-90%. In the suspension, the mean diameter of hepatocytes was 25 micron. On being plated on plastic Petry dishes in concentrations of 1-5.10(5)/ml and in the presence of serum, hepatocytes were attached to the substrate in 2-3 hours to form cell monolayers. The cultured hepatocytes maintained their viability for 5-7 days.
