Mullon , et al. August 18, 1998
------------------------------------------------------------
Cryopreserved hepatocytes and high viability and metabolic activity
Abstract
An artificial liver support system is described herein which comprises cryopreserved hepatocytes having an initial viability of 80-99% and a metabolic activity 50-80% of fresh hepatocytes. Further disclosed are hepatocytes cryopreserved by dispensing hepatocytes into freezing containers, freezing the containers from between minus 50 to minus 90 degrees Celsius, storing the containers in liquid or vapor nitrogen, thawing the cryopreserved hepatocytes when ready for use and removing residual cryoprotectant media.

United States Patent 6,107,043
Jauregui , et al. August 22, 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------
Immortalized hepatocytes
Abstract
The invention features a virally-immortalized mammalian hepatocyte, which is derived from a normal liver cell, has differentiated hepatocyte-specific metabolic activity, has the ability to proliferate, and is nontumorigenic after prolonged culture.
