We cultured 3-day-old mouse livers for organotypic slice culture using a roller-tube technique to maintain parenchymal cells for a long term. The sliced tissues in medium without growth factors gradually spread and flattened for 3 weeks. Parenchymal cell formed a trabecular structure and albumin-immunoreactivity was seen in them in light and ultrastructural immunoperoxidase studies. Cholangiolar cells formed glandular structures which had microvilli on the inner facing membrane and basement membrane on the basal area. There were also well-developed tight junctions and few cytoplasmic organella. These findings suggest that our organotypic slice culture of neonatal livers developed with the roller-tube technique could preserve hepatocytes and cholangiolar cells for at least 3 weeks. This culture system may be a useful tool not only to maintain parenchymal cells but also to study structural organization of the liver in ontogenesis.
