Product Listing

Fresh and cryopreserved mouse and rat hepatocytes are available for both suspension and plated applications. Piedmont Research Center provides large lot sizes that allow our clients to conduct multiple toxicity and metabolism experiments from the same donor pool. Each lot of cells is verified to be metabolically active by ECOD testing and are delivered with clear thawing and handling instructions. Additional species available include: dog, monkey, pig and rabbit.

All hepatocyte lots are isolated from animals that have been fully tested and housed in our AAALAC accredited facility. We specialize in offering quality hepatocyctes with high yield (>= 5*106/vial) and viability.

Cryopreserved Mouse and Rat Hepatocytes

Cryopreserved hepatocytes isolated from male CD-1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats are routinely available. All animals have been fully tested by the supplier and housed in our AAALAC accredited facility. Animal health reports are available upon request.

Cryopreserved Mouse Hepatocytes

Fresh Hepatocytes

For ease-of-use and reliability we offer fresh rat and mouse hepatocytes in suspension. These cells are isolated and shipped the same day. Contact us for more information or to place an order!

  • Extensive list of murine strains (Male and Female)
  • Hepatocytes from a client's knockout strain
  • Isolation after in vivo dosing with a client's investigational agent
  • Additional species available to include dog, monkey, pig, rabbit

Varigenix™ hepatocyte panels

The Varigenix™ hepatocyte panels are a new tool set for the study of the biologic effects of genetic variation on metabolism. These panels express genetic variability comparable to human populations and are comprised of cryopreserved BXD mouse hepatocytes with ≥80% post-thaw viability at one million cells/vial. The panels are characterized for genotype and metabolic activity (ECOD).

Current panel

Panel 1: Twenty-two male Jackson Laboratory BXD mouse strains selected from the BXD Taylor series lines BXD1 to BXD42 and both the parental strains including C57BL/6J and DBA/2J.

Next panels

Panel 2: Twenty-two female Jackson Laboratory BXD mouse strains selected from the BXD Taylor series lines from BXD1 to BXD42 and both parental strains including C57BL/6J and DBA/2J.

Panel 3: Twenty-two male or Panel 4: female BXD mouse strains selected from the advanced BXD UTHSC series lines from BXD43 to BXD103 and both parental strains including C57BL/6J and DBA/2J.

(Panels will be available based on market demand.)

The Varigenix™ hepatocyte panel enables evaluation of the effects of genetic variation on drug metabolism, drug effectiveness, drug toxicity, environmental toxin interactions, and other biomedical uses. Data sets derived from studies using these panels also have potential applicability to human populations.

  • Varigenix™ hepatocyte panels are derived from the BXD family of mouse strains, the largest set of recombinant inbred mouse strains used for genetic analysis. All these strains are available for in vivo analysis and validation.
  • The genomes of the BXD strains used in Varigenix™ hepatocyte panels are genotyped at thousands of SNP markers and microsatellites. This makes it possible to map the potential genetic basis of drug and toxin responses and liver toxicity.
  • BXD strains are the most completely phenotyped family of mouse strains. This includes gene expression data for multiple liver specimens which can be openly accessed at www.genenetwork.org.
