Objective:
To acquire lots of cell to culture during the primary cell culture.
Method:
We take the split-thickness skin slide technique to acquire the dissociated fibroblast cell in two big-ear rats.
Results:
The cell number is above 10(6) from 1 cm x 2 cm split-thickness skin slide and the technique is simple, economic, effectve.
Conclusion:
We think this way is better than other methods, and should be adopted in the primary cell culture, especially in fibroblast transplantation by injection.
