Katalin Jemnitz, Attila Bátai-Konczos, Mónika Szabó, Enikő Ioja, more

Toxicology in Vitro > 2017 > 38 > C > 159-169

Increasing number of papers demonstrate that Kupffer cells (KCs) play a role in the development of drug induced liver injury (DILI). Furthermore, elevated intracellular Ca²⁺ level of hepatocytes is considered as a common marker of DILI. Here we applied an in vitro model based on hepatocyte mono- and hepatocyte/KC co-cultures (H/KC) isolated from transgenic rats stably expressing the GCaMP2 fluorescent...
