including hepatocytes, bile epithelial cells, pancreatic cells and intestinal epithelial cells. In
this study, we used different growth factor combinations to induce oval cells to differentiate
into mature hepatocytes. We isolated and purified oval cells utilizing selective enzymatic
digestion and density gradient centrifugation. Oval cells were identified by their
morphological characteristics and the strong expressions of OV-6, albumin, cytokeratin (CK) …
