Free hepatocytes, harvested from normal rat livers by portal vein collagenase perfusion, were encapsulated within alginate-polylysine membranes and served as a liver support system. The encapsulated hepatocytes remained viable and were able to synthesize protein for up to 3 weeks in culture. Allografts of encapsulated hepatocytes replaced the function of a damaged liver and reduced the mortality rate among rats with galactosamine-induced fulminant hepatic failure.
通过门静脉胶原酶灌注从正常大鼠肝脏中获取的游离肝细胞,被包裹在藻酸盐 - 聚赖氨酸膜内,用作肝脏支持系统。被包裹的肝细胞保持存活,并能够在培养中合成蛋白质长达3周。被包裹肝细胞的同种异体移植替代了受损肝脏的功能,并降低了半乳糖胺诱导的暴发性肝衰竭大鼠的死亡率。
