Abstract
A new dish for culturing cells on a biological substrate, the calf eye lens capsule, is described. With the aid of this dish the interrelationships between the cell substratum and various biochemical characteristics of the cell may be studied. The protein biosynthetic pattern differs between lens cells cultured on lens capsule as a substrate and cells cultured on foil. The new dish creates the possibility to culture epithelial cells on a lens capsule, which gives an alternative to the culture of these cells on a collagen substrate.
