FIELD: biology, genetic engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preparing immortalized cellular lines from health human skin tissues and can be used in immunological, pharmacological, photo- and chemical-toxicological analysis of cutaneous response, for expression of heterologous genes and for construction of artificial skin. Keratinocytes are immortalized by infection of keratinocytes of health human. The human skin sample is isolated and prepared its for culturing in vitro. Keratinocytes are prepared from this prepared human skin sample and plated in serum-free medium for growing keratinocytes in cultural plates with cover alleviating attachment and growth of cells. In the process for culturing keratinocytes the serum-free medium is replaced to provide preparing the optimal confluent growth of cells in culture with continuous maintenance of cup cover. Keratinocytes are transferred in selective serum-free medium in cultural cups with cover and infected with vectors pLXSHD + SV40(#328) and pLXSHD + E6/E7. Then prepared immortalized keratinocytes are transferred in cultural cups with cover to useful medium for proliferation. Then prepared proliferated keratinocytes are transferred in medium with high calcium content for differentiation in cultural chambers with cover. Invention provides preparing the human keratinocyte cellular line that has no oncogenic property and retains capacity for differentiation and expression of proteins and enzymes expressing by normal differentiated keratinocytes being even after increased number of passages in culture. Also, this cellular line forms lamellar and polarized epithelium with keratinized layer (stratum corneum) consisting of ortho-keratinocytes in the process for culturing in organotypical culture in serum-free medium and without layer of feeding cells.
EFFECT: improved immortalizing method, valuable biological properties of cellular line.
