In the early years of research in in vitro pharmacotoxicology liver slices have been used. After a decline in the application of slices in favour of the use of isolated hepatocytes and the isolated perfused liver preparation, the development of the Krumdieck slicer in the 1980s led to a comeback of the technique. This review will focus on the use of human liver, with special reference to the...
The aim of this study was to compare human hepatocytes isolated from livers accepted and from livers discarded for transplantation with respect to viability and drug transport function. In addition, the influence of age of the donor and preservation time of the liver on cell viability was determined. Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion, MTT reduction, morphological integrity and...
