Abstract: |
The invention provides a method of producing a culture of polycystic kidney cells which form cysts in vitro. A cell culture of polycystic kidney cells is also provided. A method for screening an agent in vitro to determine the effectiveness of the agent in treating polycystic kidney disease is disclosed. Further, a method of treating a mammal having polycystic kidney disease by administering a pharmaceutical composition is provided.

What is claimed is:
1. A method of producing a culture of polycystic kidney cells which form cysts in vitro, comprising:
- preparing a suspension of polycystic kidney cells that form cysts in vivo in a medium suitable for the maintenance of said cells; and
- culturing said cells on a solid phase which substantially prevents the formation of a layer of said cells on the surface of said solid phase.
