Abstract excerpt
Two widely used hepatoma cell lines, mouse BW1J and human HepG2, express gene products characteristic of fetal hepatocytes, including serum albumin, whereas reporter genes driven by the albumin promoter are expressed at very low levels compared with highly differentiated hepatoma cells. We have investigated the low albumin promoter activity in BW1J cells to understand differences in liver gene regulation between...
