摘要
Transwell,即穿透小室,既是一种试验装置,也是一种试验技术。Transwell可用于生物屏障的建立、细胞共培养、细胞趋化、细胞迁移和细胞侵袭等多方面的研究。在模拟生物屏障方面,研究较多较成熟的有血脑屏障、肠黏膜屏障、血视网膜屏障、胎盘屏障和腹透屏障。本文将分别对上述五种屏障的建立进行阐述。
Transwell is an experimental device and also an experimental technique. It can be used for studying the establishment of biological barriers, cellular co-culture, cellular chemotaxis, cellular migration, cellular invasion, etc. At present the mimicry of biological barriers are mostly used as blood-brain barrier, intestinal mucosal barrier, blood-retinal barrier, blood-placental barrier and peritoneal barrier. This paper illustrates the way of using transwell in the five barriers above.
