Ectopic transplantation of hepatocytes in swine models of subacute hepatic failure. (A) Schematic representation of the procedure. (B) Summary table of hepatocyte transplantations in 2 surgically induced liver injury models (RPVL or PCS). The number of cells injected and the number of LNs transplanted is shown. (C) Biochemical parameters during the course of the experiments (30 days). Results are expressed as mean ± SD of biochemical markers in animals with RPVL plus left lobe hepatectomy (n = 3, blue line) or complete PCS plus left lobe hepatectomy (n = 3, red line).
