Summary
“Hyalocytes” from the vitreous body and retina of chick and rabbit embryos as well as of calves have been cultured. They develop in vitro from immature to mature forms on primary cell layers of the retina. These elements belong to the macrophage group.
Permanent culture seems to be only successful in connection with the primary cell layer since cell division is no longer observed in mature ldhyalocytes”.
Zusammenfassung
„Hyalocyten“ wurden aus Glaskörper und Retina von Hühner- und Kaninchenembryonen sowie von Kälbern gezüchtet. Sie entwickelten sich in vitro über sog. Ausgangszellschichten der Retina von jungen zu reifen Formen. Diese Zellen gehören zur Gruppe der Makrophagen.
Eine Dauerzüchtung scheint nur in Verbindung mit den „Ausgangszellschichten“ möglich, da bei reifen „Hyalocyten“ keine Zellteilungen mehr zu beobachten sind.
