Abstract
Summary
Adult primate liver explants were maintained in culture for up to 3 weeks. The liver explants maintained their histological identity, the cellular metabolism remained active, and the explants supported the multiplication of a number of DNA and RNA viruses during the period of in vitro cultivation.
The authors thank Dr. A. W. Holmes for his help with obtaining liver tissues and Dr. Robert L. Northrop for his help with the gradient analysis of tissue components.
