Long-term cultures of hepatocytes were established from livers of human fetuses obtained by abortion at 18 to 23 wk of gestation. Cells obtained by collagenase dissociation of liver were maintained in defined serum-free medium on a substratum of positively charged plastic. Under these conditions, the cells divide and form a confluent monolayer. After multiple passages over a period of 3 mo., the cells retained an epithelioid morphology and continued to synthesize and secrete albumin.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
