Viable porcine hepatocytes from slaughterhouse organs.
A modified enzymatic isolation technique for the successful harvesting of porcine liver cells from slaughterhouse organs is introduced. Digestion of the left medial liver lobe (n = 74) resulted in 1.0 +/- 0.3 x 10E7 viable hepatocytes per gram tissue and an overall yield of 1.92 +/- 0.5 x 10E9 cells per isolation (viability: 93 +/- 2%).
