INTRODUCTION: In this study, it was aimed to isolate, reproduce and characterize stromal cells migrating from tissues by creating ovarian tissue explant culture. It is also aimed to create a mixed cell culture (ovarian stromal stem cells and ovarian surface epithelium) with the tissues obtained from different parts of the ovary and to examine the interactions of the cells with each other. METHODS: Explant cultures were formed from ovarian tissues of 4 week old (prepubertal) two female Wistar Albino type rats. Then, the expression of CD29, CD54, CD90 (mesenchymal stem cell surface antigen) and CD45 (hematopoietic stem cell surface antigen) was investigated by performing flow cytometry analysis on proliferating ovarian stromal cells in the 2nd passage (P2). RESULTS: The proliferation abilities and morphological characteristics of the cells in the culture medium were examined by serial passaging. In flow cytometry analysis of isolated ovarian stromal cells, it was determined that they expressed CD54, CD90 and CD45 surface antigens, but did not express CD29 surface antigens. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In the analysis, we determined that the ovarian stromal cells we isolated and produced in the culture medium expressed hematopoietic and some mesenchymal stem cell markers.
