Abstract

Organotypic slice cultures provide several advantages over primary and cell line culture models. Unlike monolayer cultures, organotypic slice cultures retain the tissue's 3-D architecture, multi-lineage cell populations, and many complex functional characteristics. Organotypic slice cultures can be exposed to biological, pharmacological, or environmental agents and analyzed to predict in vivo responses. Herein, we describe a method for preparing organotypic slice cultures generated from rat placenta.
