title: A compared study on the purification of fetal and adult rat hepatocyte suspensions by biomagnetic isolation techniques and flow cytometry analysis.
abstract: An analysis of liver cell populations from both adult and 21 day pregnancy rat fetuses (E21) was carried out. The results show that E21 hepatocytes express OX-43, as do endothelial cells but not adult hepatocytes. OX-43 could be used in future as a cell marker for the hepatocyte maturation.
