METHOD FOR PREPARING SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL CULTURE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C12N5/71 C12N5/02 C12N5/77 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology, cell technologies and tissue surgery. A method for preparing a smooth muscle cell culture consists in cutting a blood vessel fragment, grinding it to a piece size of no more than 2 mm in any dimension, and incubating the pieces in a culture flask having its bottom preliminarily scratched and containing a culture medium containing 10% embyo foetal serum for at least ten days, but no more than 24 days at 37°C in the CO₂ incubator environment; the method differs by the fact that the above blood vessel fragment is an ascending thoracic aorta fragment cut during the coronary artery bypass surgery; before the incubation, the above pieces of the ascending thoracic aorta fragment are kept in the culture medium containing 0.1% collagenase for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 60 minutes at 37°C and then washed in the cell culture medium.

EFFECT: invention enables preparing the cells of the aortic tissue directly from the patient's vital tissues for transplantology applications.
