A method is described for the isolation of enriched populations of crypt cells from the murine small intestine. The method was developed to study the response of cells to various stimuli in vitro. The properties of the isolated cell preparations varied with the state of the intestinal mucosa of the mice from which they were isolated. Thus we could distinguish between cells from lactating and non-lactating mice. Polyamines, which are putative modulators of crypt cell division, failed to stimulate [3H]TdR incorporation in vitro. Lymphocyte culture supernatants suppressed [3H]TdR incorporation at dilutions of 1:4 to 1:64. Supernatants of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-stimulated EL-4 cells and of mixed lymphocyte cultures failed to stimulate [3H]TdR incorporation of any dilution. Supernatants of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells gave less suppression of [3H]TdR incorporation than those of unstimulated spleen cells and stimulated incorporation at dilutions of 1:64 and 1:128. Phytohaemagglutinin stimulated [3H]TdR incorporation at high concentrations, whereas concanavalin A (con A) had no effect. This study shows that the isolated murine crypt cells may have the potential to provide a useful in vitro model for crypt cell responses to stimuli.
