Cultured chromaffin cells have been used for almost 40 years in the study of different cell functions using biochemical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, and toxicological approaches. Chromaffin cells are essentially secretory cells that are used to model sympathetic neurons or neuroendocrine cells. In this chapter, we describe the most common methods currently used to isolate and culture chromaffin cells from the animals used most commonly: cows, rats, and mice. We also provide some advice on the use of these cells in the laboratory. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
