Abstract
This invention provides a cell culture substrate comprising on its surface a fluorine-containing polymer that enables three-dimensional tissue culture. The cell culture substrate of the invention has a surface at least a part of which is composed of a resin composition comprising a fluorine-containing polymer having one or more fluorine atoms in a repeating unit and exhibits the oxygen gas permeability of 219 cm3 (STP)/(m2·24 h·atm) or higher. Three-dimensional tissue can be formed via cell culture with the use of the cell culture substrate of the invention.
