Fig. 2 Real time RT-PCR results. Quantitative ggta-1 mRNA levels normalised for gapdh mRNA levels and expressed as percentage of the initial cell isolate; Cell 1 and 2 are data from two different hepatocyte isolations; BAL 1, 3 and 7 represents data from a BAL cultured for one, three and seven days, respectively. BAL 1 and 3 were loaded with the same hepatocytes as cell 1, BAL 7 was loaded with the same hepatocytes as cell 2.

Fig. 4 Immunocytochemistry. Representative figures are shown of (A) porcine hepatocytes double stained with anti-CPS-CY3 and GSI-B4-FITC; (B) porcine hepatocytes double stained with anti-CPS-CY3 and anti-Galα(1–3)Gal IgG; (C) PK-15 cells stained with GSI-B4-FITC. Both cell types were cultured for 4h. Journal of Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.jhep ) Copyright © 2005 European Association for the Study of the Liver Terms and Conditions
