Primary cell culture of the loggerhead sea turtle under different conditions, and from frozen preserved tissue. (A) Cell morphology derived from the loggerhead sea turtle. Bar indicates 50 µm. (B) Primary cells obtained from the frozen preserved loggerhead tissue. Arrows indicate the primary cells. The arrowhead indicates the primary tissue. Bar indicates 500 µm. (C) Representative mitotic phase of the loggerhead cells. (D) Aligned chromosomes of the loggerhead cells. The result revealed a chromosome number of 2n = 56.
