Abstract:
Extracellular collagen from rat tail (types 1 and 3) is a suitable matrix for isolated neonatal heart cell cultivation. The fine structure and the physiological response to isoproterenol for instance is similar for neonatal cardiomyocytes cultured in the medium Sm 20-1 with or without collagen matrix. For electron microscopical routine preparation it is easier to use matrix-grown cardiomyocytes because additional preparation steps (centrifugation) are unnecessary.
