First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for culturing seborrheic keratosis cells ex vivo, the method comprising: (a) contacting a biological sample comprising seborrheic keratosis cells obtained from a subject with a solution comprising a dispase enzyme at a temperature and for a time sufficient to initiate dissociation of the seborrheic keratosis cells from the biological sample, and (b) culturing the dissociated seborrheic keratosis cells. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature is below a standard room temperature of 21° C. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time sufficient to initiate digestion of the seborrheic keratosis cells is at least 15 hours. 4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of contacting the biological sample comprising seborrheic keratosis cells with an additional protease. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the additional protease is Trypsin. 6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of adding a culture medium and filtering larger particles from the dissociated cells before the culturing of step (b). 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the dissociated cells are cultured on coated plates.
