Hi Sandra,

HepG2 might be good option

Hi Sandra,

There is a lab in my department that studies the liver and they use mice primary hepatocytes. Best of luck!

Primary hepatocytes are the best, but are hard to work with and tricky to purify. I agree with Mathipi - in the first approximation HepG2 will do, and they are easy to handle and grow. I think good enough for a publication. Good luck!

Hi Sandra,

for the in vitro testing of substances you can use:

- Mahlavu

- SNU387

-SNU449

- SNU475

- PLC

- HepG2

- Hep3B

If you want, you may take a look at my publications:

Good luck!
