The article provides a detailed description of the procedure of converting primary tumor cells of invasive cervical cancer into a state of a transient in vitro culture, including the description of conditions for tissue dissociation and selection of appropriate cell culture medium. Morphological characteristics of the cell colonies obtained and the results of their phenotyping (based on analysis of cytokeratin expression) are presented. Our own observations are discussed in comparison with the previously published studies aimed at defining optimal conditions to culture primary cells of cervical neoplasia.
