Scale bars, 200£¿¦Ìm. c QPCR analyses for the expression of the indicated genes during TEM culture from day 0 to day 10. FLCs, fetal liver cells, 5 gestational weeks (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett correction for multiple comparisons, n£¿=£¿4 donors, *P£¿<£¿0.05, **P£¿<£¿0.01, ***P£¿<£¿0.001). d Immunofluorescence analyses demonstrating the expression of ALB and CK19. Scale bars, 50£¿¦Ìm. e Flow cytometric analysis showing the proportion of ALB or CK19 positive-cells in the populations. Blue, positive-cells; red, negative controls. f Growth curves illustrate the number of cells counted per well at different time points. Results expressed as mean£¿¡À£¿s.d. of three independent cultures derived from three donors. g Doubling time calculated for three donors. Error bars represent s.d.; n£¿=£¿3. h Edu incorporation is detected at passage 10. Scale bar, 50£¿¦Ìm. i Representative karyotype images of three independently established HepLPCs. Two lines maintained normal diploid karyotypes, whereas the third was partly triploid for Chromosome %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6318298/
