Abstract
Although the successful application of graftable cultured human keratinocytes depends on the cytological state, they still lack exact qualitative and quantitative characterization. Our investigations revealed that graftable keratinocyte cultures can be quantitatively characterized using a new cell-size analyzer (PPSA) and the radioactive EGF-ligation technique. With both techniques, typical changes in culture development can be proven.
