β¦ Synopsis
Single cell suspensions were prepared from the choroids of adult rabbit eyes using Pronase digestion, gentle pipetting and centrifugation. When diluted and inoculated into medium F12 supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and 10% rabbit serum, the choroid cell suspensions yielded large, healthy colonies with an average plating efficiency of about 45%. The growth in culture of a large portion of the cells from a normal non-embryonic tissue opens new possibilities for the study of cellular differentiation i n v i h o .
