OBJECTIVE To search an ideal carrier of transferred keratinocytes for transplantation. METHODS The transferred keratinocytes were seeded on the surfaces of the artificial dermis and the silicone membrane and cultured in vitro for 2 weeks. The growth of the keratinocytes was observed by microscope and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS The keratinocytes implanted on the artificial dermis began to rupture and died after 2 to 3 days. While the keratinocytes adhered well on the surface of silicone membrane with pseudopodia formation after 1 week under scanning electron microscope, and the cells kept normal morphological and proliferative properties 2 weeks later. CONCLUSION The silicone membrane can be applied as an useful carrier for the keratinocytes transplantation.
