RESUMEN
Objective Stromal and glandular cells of human endometrium were successfully isolated and cultured in this experiment. Methods These two types of cells were observed by light microscopy and verified by immunocytochemical staining. Results The result showed that some of stromal cells became adherent after.0 5h of culture.Two shapes of stromal cells were found.One was spindle and the another was polygonal.Immunocytochemical staining method showed that both shapes of stromal cells were positive for vimentin,with 95% of positive rate,and negative for cytokeratin 1,indicating that these cells were endometrial stromal cells.Most of glandular cells became adherent after 24h of culture and formed tightly packed whorls after 4d.Individual cells were polygonal and had a large and round nucleus.Immunocytochemical staining method showed that glandular epithelial cells were positive for cytokeratin 1,with 90% of positive rate,suggesting their nature of epithelial cells. Conclusion Stromal and glandular cells of human endometrium were successfully isolated by using two series of filter and cultured in this experiment. [
