Metallothionein synthesis as an indication of the parenchymal origin of cells cultured from liver

M R Daniel et al. Chem Biol Interact. 1977 Jan.

Abstract

A line of cell derived from pig liver has been shown to retain the ability to synthesize zinc-thionein and to respond to Cd2+ with a greatly increased metallothionein synthesis, a property specific for liver and kidney parenchymal cells.
