Abstrakt: Summary We describe a technique using normal and diabetic (dbdb) mice to establish primary pancreatic cultures that spread and assume a characteristic epithelial morphology. These cultures contain 4 to 7% beta cells, secrete insulin in response to stimuli for 10 to 14 d, contain few fibroblasts, and have a cell viability that is greater than 95%. The cells attach firmly to glass cover slips and are ideal for the study of insulin secretory granules or contractile proteins using indirect immunofluorescence.
