Keratinocyte Culture for Burn Treatment Research.

Abstract

The findings demonstrate that cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes are comparable to human skin tissue in their expression of certain histo-chemical markers for human epidermis. For the markers tested (46-58 kd and 67 kd keratins, filaggrin, involucrin), either whole keratinocyte colonies or cross-sections of colonies were positive for the markers if epidermal tissue was positive and negative if tissue was negative. Keywords: Living skin substitute.
