Abstract: In order to explore and establish a new method of isolation,culture,and identification of alpaca skin melanocyte in vitro for further studying to provide a suitable pigment deposition cell model. Take 1 to 3 years young alpacal skin,with three different enzymes (trypsin,trypsin-EDTA,Dispase Ⅱ) digestion alpaca skin,alpaca melanocyte were obtained by trypsin-EDTA digestion,placed into DMEM/F12 culture medium. Analyze melanocyte growth,cell yields and cells attached.The results showed Dispase Ⅱ group had a significant higher other groups (P<0.01).In summary,alpaca melanocyte were obtained by Dispase Ⅱ digestion.

Key words: alpaca; melanocyte; DispaseⅡ; depuration
