Human Hepatocytes

One Proven Brand, from Metabolism Studies Through Pre-clinical Drug Development

Enhance the results of your research with Corning® Gentest™ Hepatic cell models. Corning provides cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes to support major applications in drug and xenobiotic biotransformation. Cyropreserved hepatocytes from common pre-clinical animal species are also available. All primary hepatocyte products are pre-screened and extensively characterized, which provides researchers with the data necessary to select lots which are well-suited to their research needs.

To maximize post-thaw viability and recovery of Corning cyropreserved hepatocytes, a cryohepatocyte recovery kit was developed (Cat. No. 454534). The Kit is easy to use and requires only one centrifugation step prior to plating.

Also available now, are Corning HepatoCells. This renewable hepatic cell model is the best alternative to primary human hepatocytes for ADME/Tox studies.

Use of calibration curve methodology and human hepatocytes to predict CYP induction potential.

Assessing DDI Using Calibration Curve-based Approaches with Human Hepatocytes

In a study conducted by Zhang et al., researchers were able to use Corning Gentest human cryohepatocytes to assess the amount of P450 induction in the liver by analyzing the concentration response curves of CYP3A4 mRNA in vitro, and established a predictive relationship between the change in AUC in humans and parameters from CYP3A4 mRNA activity in vivo.
