The protocols used to expand limbal epithelial cellsin vitro need to be optimized, since the scarcity of human ocular tissue donors is limiting the potential use of this procedure. Here, we describe a method to consecutively expand a single human limbal explant. With this method it is possible to obtain up to three limbal epithelial primary cultures from the same explant, thus increasing the efficiency of the in vitro cell culture.
