Repopulation of the liver by ED 14 FLEP cells in normal rats. Untreated DPPIV− rats were transplanted with an enriched cell fraction containing 4 × 10 5 ED 14 FLEP cells in conjunction with two-thirds PH. Animals were sacrificed after 1, 2, 4, or 6 months, and the presence of transplanted cells was detected by DPPIV enzyme histochemistry: 1 month (A), 2 months (B), 4 months (C), and 6 months (D). Extensive, multilobulated bile duct structures, linked to pre-existing host bile ducts, were observed in many of the proliferating cell clusters (D). Original magnifications, ×100.
