Abstract excerpt
This investigation was initiated in order to find out whether expression of the hepatocyte-specific phenotype is accompanied by expression of certain connexin genes coding for gap junctional protein subunits. Several clones of mouse embryonic hepatocytes immortalized in serum-free MX83 medium by infection with recombinant retrovirus-expressed transcripts for connexin32, connexin26, albumin, alpha-fetoprotein,...
