This video describes an in vitro culture technique to generate human organotypic esophageal constructs by co-culturing primary human esophageal fibroblast and squamous epithelial cells within a decellularized porcine scaffold. These 3D culture models mimic the function and physiology of their in vivo tissue counterparts.
Protocol
1. Production of the Human Esophageal Mucosa Model Perform all work in a laminar flow hood using aseptic technique to maintain a sterile environment. Sterilize all tools by soaking in 70% ethanol for 5 min, before rinsing in sterile PBS. The day before it is required, rehydrate the acellular porcine esophageal scaffold. One piece of scaffold is required for each construct to be prepared. To rehydrate the tissue, place sufficient pieces of porcine scaffold into a pot cont…
