Description

Description: C2-Rev 7 is a revertant of the C2 variants, selected by virtue of its capacity to grow in glucose free medium (containing dialysed serum) where survival requires activity of the liver-specific gluconeogenic pathway. Expression of the entire set of liver specific functions is restored. Albumin and hepatocyte markers present.
