Repopulation of Mouse Liver With Human Hepatocytes And In Vivo Infection With Hepatitis B Virus
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Mice containing livers repopulated with human hepatocytes would provide excellent in vivo models for studies on human liver diseases and hepatotropic viruses, for which no permissive cell lines exist. Here, we report partial repopulation of the liver of immunodeficient urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)/recombinant activation gene-2 (RAG-2) mice with normal human hepatocytes isolated from the adult liver....
