title: The isolation of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells from normal rat livers.
abstract: A method is described for the isolation of biliary epithelial cells from rat livers by sequential treatment with EGTA, collagenase-hyaluronidase, trypsin, and deoxyribonuclease I and final separation on a discontinuous Percoll gradient using prekeratin antibodies as an immunohistochemical marker for these cells.
