From: HPV16-Immortalized Cells from Human Transformation Zone and Endocervix are More Dysplastic than Ectocervical Cells in Organotypic Culture

Figure 2

Primary cervical epithelial cells form differentiated stratified squamous epithelia when grown in organotypic culture. (Top row) Normal primary cells were cultured from ectocervix, TZ, or endocervix and maintained for 10 days on collagen rafts containing human cervical stromal cells. Dotted lines indicate position of basement membranes. (Bottom row) Ectocervical, TZ and endocervical cells simultaneously stained for K14 (red), K18 (green) and DAPI (blue).
