Abstract

A method is described for establishing continuous cell lines of liver epithelial cells by transformation of cultured hepatocytes isolated by collagenase/dispase of adult human liver tissue. Between 2 to 5×10⁵ hepatocytes are inoculated into a 60 mm culture dish. The cells are incubated in a serum-free medium. Once the cells begin to divide, they are transformed by transfection with a plasmid containing SV40 early region genes.
