Popis: Tissue culture has furthered the knowledge of cytology in many fields. It is a method by which cells can be studied alive and proliferating outside the body for reasonable periods of time. This discipline seems to offer a promising approach to the elucidation of debated questions concerning melanocytes. However, a review of the literature does not reveal any reports dealing especially with the behavior of normal human melanocytes in tissue culture, although normal pigment cells of lower animals and mammalian and human malignant melanomas (1-9) have been cultured.
