Competitive Repopulation of Elutriated Size Fractions versus Unsorted Hepatocytes

Cell size (μm)	Ratio*	Individual % repopulation†	Average % repopulation‡
16	1:1	<5, <5, 8, <5	<5
16	1:5	<5, <5, <5, <5, <5	<5
21	1:1	38, 30, 40, 30	35 ± 5
21	1:4	10, 20, 35, 13, 26	21 ± 9
27	1:1	42, 40, 17	33 ± 11
27	1:4	15, 15
27	1:5	10, 10

*The ratio is of elutriated to nonfractionated cells.

^† The percentage of repopulation measured in individual mice is given.

^‡ Averages are given with standard deviation when three or more samples were analyzed.
