Cell Specification The liver fulfills many vital processes in mammals. It is the central organ of energy metabolism, biotransformation of xenobiotics, and synthesis of plasma proteins under physiological and pathophysiological conditions [1]. Primary culture of human hepatocytes appears to be a suitable experimental model for the study of liver specific function, have been and still are an important tool. Propagation of human hepatocytes for cell transplantation, gene therapy, and culture of hepatocytes in bioartificial liver support systems is now under investigation [2]. In appropriate culture condition, cultured human hepatocytes proliferate and maintain differentiated hepatocyte function such as the synthesis of serum proteins [3]. HH from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from human liver tissue. HH are cryopreserved at secondary culture after purification and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >1 x 106 cells in 1 ml volume. HH are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to albumin, cytokeratin-18 and vimentin. HH are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HH are guaranteed to further culture in the conditions provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories. Recommended Medium It is recommended to use Hepatocyte Medium (HM, Cat. No. 5201) for the culturing of human hepatocytes in vitro. Product Use HH are for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures. Storage Directly and immediately transfer cells from dry ice to liquid nitrogen upon receiving and keep the cells in liquid nitrogen until cell culture is needed for experiments. Shipping Dry ice.
