Abstract: To investigate the effects of DMEM, DMEM/F12, RPMI 1640 on the proliferation activities of cultured mouse thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), the proliferation of the mTECs was measured by MTT method, and the cell cycle of the mTECs was examined by flow cytometer. The results showed that the proliferation activity and proliferation index of the mTECs were significantly higher in DMEM than that in DMEM/F12 or RPMI 1640 medium. It indicated that DMEM is the best medium for mTEC culture.

Key words: mouse thymic epithelial cells (mTECs); medium; proliferation; cell cycle
