Description
Summary:Summary: The study of reproductive function in turkey hens has been difficult due to the lack of a reliable, representative in vitro model for investigating profound physiological aspects. This article presents a protocol to establish turkey oviductal organoids, including steps for isolating turkey oviduct epithelial cells followed by seeding and maintaining 3D organoid cultures. We also detail procedures for organoid fixation for histological analysis. This organoid model could serve as a valuable in vitro tool for understanding the intricacies of turkey reproductive physiology. : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
