Co-culture of monodisperse epithelial cells with fibroblasts results in a random distribution of the two cell types. (a,b) A single cell suspension of epithelial cells (GFP-16HBE cells (green)) was mixed with a single cell suspension of fibroblasts (DsRed-MRC5 cells (magenta)); the images show the cells at 0 h (a) and after 72 h (b) of culture. (c,d) A confluent layer of DsRed MRC5 cells was established (c) prior to addition of a single cell suspension of GFP-16HBE cells and culture for 72 h. (d) Nuclei are labelled with DAPI (blue). Scale bar either 200 μm (a,c) or 15 μm (b,d).
