Abstract: | Summary Adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture formed floating, non-spheroidal aggregates on the surfaces coated with 1 % polyacrylamide. In the cells of aggregates, DNA synthetic capacity was limited, but albumin secreting capacity was maintained at least for 2 weeks. These properties were influenced by addition of serum. |
