The invention discloses a primary culturing method for dorsal root ganglion satellite glial cells. The method comprises the operating steps of 1, killing a neonatal mouse or a neonatal rat after sterilization by breaking a head, taking out a spine after dissection, removing muscle on the spine, cutting off the spine, clearing blood vessels and spinal cord under a stereoscopic microscope and taking out DRG, and removing nerve fibers and envelopes on the DRG; 2, culturing the processed DRG by using DRG-SGCs culturing solution, inducing the large number of satellite glial cells to move out of the DRG, adding trypsin for digestion after culturing ends, then adding FBS for stopping digestion, slighting blowing and beating the solution by using a Pasteur pipet, and then transferring the solution into a centrifuge tube for centrifuging; and 3, discarding supernate after centrifuging, and then adding the culturing solution for continuous culturing, thus acquiring the satellite glial cells. The satellite glial cells cultured and purified according to the method provided by the invention can survive for a long time in vitro, is high impurity and stable in survival, and can be passaged for multiple generations and form a cell network.
