Abstract
Cultured pure population of Ito cells isolated from adult rat liver expressed epithelial markers cytokeratin-8, α-fetoprotein, and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase after forming a dense monolayer. Mesenchymal-epithelial transformation of these cells is possible, which suggests them as candidates of hepatic stem cells.
