METHOD FOR CULTURING PANCREATIC ISLET CELLS USING ATELOCOLLAGEN

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for culturing islet cells using atelocollagen is provided to effectively culture islet cells using a cationized atelocollagen or crosslinked atelocollagen support which is acquired by ionizing high purity atelocollagen. CONSTITUTION: A method for culturing islet cells using atelocollagen comprises the steps of preparing a cationized atelocollagen solution; applying the cationized atelocollagen solution on a culture container and drying to form a cationized atelocollagen support; inoculating islet cells to the cationized atelocollagen solution; and culturing the inoculated islet cells in the cationized atelocollagen solution or on the cationized atelocollagen support.
