ABSTRACT:
Continuous cultures of pluripotent parenchymal hepatocytes were derived from the epiblasts of pig blastocysts. The cultures are feeder-dependent and grow slowly with doubling times of 3 to 4 days. They differentiate into large secretory duct-like structures or form small canaliculi. Alternatively, the cells accumulate droplets that stain intensely with oil red O, a lipid-specific stain. .alpha.-Fetoprotein and albumin mRNA expression increases as the cells differentiate in culture.
