Publisher Summary This chapter discusses preparation of isolated rat liver cells. The early
mechanical and chemical methods for liver-cell preparation were relatively successful in …

MORPHOLOGY AND CHARACTERIZATION Prior to Aterman's and Wisse's important
electron microscopic studies (Aterman, 1963; Wisse, 1970, 1972), very little was known …

After intravenous (iv) injection of 125 I-labeled poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) with different
molecular weights to mice, the radioactivity of the organs was measured to …

Kupffer cells (KCs) play an essential role in the physiological and pathological functions of
the liver. Although the isolation methods of KCs have been well-described, most of them are …

In a recent communication it was shown that intravenously injected radioactively labelled
hyaluronic acid was preferentially taken up by the liver and degraded. We now report that …

Malaria sporozoites have to cross the layer of sinusoidal liver cells to reach their initial site of
multiplication in the mammalian host, the hepatocytes. To determine the sinusoidal cell type …

Both cytosolic (c–AAT) and mitochondrial (m–AAT) isozymes of aspartate aminotransferase
(EC 2.6. 1.1) appear in serum in some diseases including hepatobiliary dysfunction. The …

Enzymatic digestion with pronase and DNAase was used to isolate Kupffer cells from mouse
liver. The characteristics of these cells were found to be similar to those of peritoneal …

The liver consists of two types of epithelial cells: hepatocytes, which represent 60% to 70%
of the liver cell population (l), or 90% of total liver mass (2); and intrahepatic bile duct …

Isolated non-parenchymal cells from rat liver were separated by centrifugal elutriation into
two fractions consisting of structurally intact Kupffer and endothelial cells with purities of 91 …
