title: [Culture of human hepatocytes. Findings and outlook].
abstract: Human hepatocytes can be obtained by portal vein perfusion in the presence of collagenase. A co-culture system is suitable for maintenance of high levels of specific functions. The field for the use of cultured hepatocytes is now being enlarged. Pharmacological, carcinological and virological studies on a cellular scale are within the bounds of possibility.
