Abstract excerpt

1. Growth rates, morphology, plasma protein synthesis and the level of heme pathway enzymes were examined in six sublines of HepG2 cells obtained from various laboratories. 2. Five sublines represented by G2a display the known characteristics of HepG2 cell type, including morphology, plasma prote...
