Abstract
Transplantation of isolated hepatocytes and other animal cells have many potential therapeutic and investigative applications. Liver cell transplantation, if successful in man, could be used in managing acute liver failure, which at this time carries dismal prognosis. It could also possibly be used for replacement of specific deficient liver functions in inherited liver diseases. Finally, hepatocytes or other transplanted cells may have potential application as vehicles for somatic gene therapy.
