Influence of culture time on the expression of drug‐metabolizing enzymes in primary human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell line HepG2
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Primary cultures of human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell line HepG2 are frequently used to evaluate the hepatic disposition of drugs and other xenobiotics. To check the variability of the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in these in vitro models, expression of genes coding for several cytochrome P450 isoforms and phase II enzymes was quantified during culture time by real-time RT-PCR. Gene expression was...
