Abstract
Methods are provided for long term culture of mammalian intestinal cells. Cultures are initiated with fragments of mammalian intestinal tissue, which are then maintained embedded in a gel substrate that provides an air-liquid interface. Intestinal epithelium in cultures of the invention can be continuously grown for extended periods of time. Mammalian intestinal cells cultured by the methods of the invention recapitulate features of intestinal growth in vivo.
