Abstract

Objective

To establish new in vitro model systems that better reflect in vivo condition, multicellular tumor spheroids(MTS) and raft culture were developed using cell lines of squamous cell carcinoma(SCCHN) of the head and neck in these 3-dimensional systems.

Materials and Methods

Four SCCHN cell lines were used for MTS and raft culture.

Results

All cell lines formed MTS, but only Tu-138 showed a good stratification at the airliquid interface in the raft culture system.

Conclusions

MTS and raft culture system were established successfully from the SCCHN cell lines.

Keywords: Multicellular tumor spheroid; Raft culture; Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
