...Chris M. Wood; Peter Pärt ABSTRACT We have developed a method for the primary culture of gill epithelial cells from freshwater rainbow trout on permeable supports, polyethylene terephthalate membranes (‘filter inserts’). Primary cultures of gill cells (6–9 days in Leibowitz L-15 culture medium plus...

... The principal new finding of the present work is that purinergic receptors are present on equine sweat gland epithelial cells in culture. This raises the possibility that such receptors may also be present in the intact equine sweat gland, where they may be involved in the regulation of glandular activity...

...P. Pärt; L. Norrgren; E. Bergström; P. Sjöberg ABSTRACT A method for obtaining primary cultures of epithelial cells from rainbow trout gills is described. The yield of cells from approximately 1.5g wet mass of tissue was 218×10 6 ±12×10 6 cells with a viability defined by eosin exclusion of 80±6...
