The cells were grown in serum-free medium. Morphological characteristics were studied under light microscope and electron microscope. Cytokeratins were shown by immunohistochemistry.Results Cells could be maintained in culture up to 4-5 passages or 30-50 days. Electron microscope revealed that there were desmosomes and tonofibrils in the oral keratinocytes. The cells showed positive staining for cytokeratin antibody. Conclusion Human oral keratinocytes have been successfully grown in serial culture.展开更多
