Establishment of hepatic cell polarity in the rat hepatoma-human fibroblast hybrid WIF-B9. A biphasic phenomenon going from a simple epithelial polarized phenotype to an hepatic polarized one.

Journal of cell science - 1 Jun 1996

Decaens C, Rodriguez P, Bouchaud C, Cassio D

Abstract excerpt

By immunofluorescence and freeze fracture methods, we have studied the establishment of hepatic cell polarity in WIF-B9 cells, a subclone of the WIF-B rat hepatoma-derived hybrid cell line. As previously shown (Ihrke et al. (1993) J. Cell Biol. 123, 1761-1775; Shanks et al. (1994) J. Cell Sci. 10...
