I wish to get expert opinion about the chang cells as a model for liver.
In general, in vitro cell tests do not predict well the in vivo drug effects.
Chang liver cells are actually HeLa cells so they would not be an appropriate model.
I wish to know is it possible to correlate the expression of a gene in base pairs with its amplicon size.
