Isolated porcine hepatocytes, isolated populations of such hepatocytes and methods for using the hepatocytes to treat subjects with disorders characterized by insufficient liver function are described. The porcine hepatocytes can be either hepatocytes isolated from adult, immature, or embryonic swine. The porcine hepatocytes can be modified to be suitable for transplantation into a xenogenic subject, for example, by altering an antigen (e.g., an MHC class I antigen) on the cell surface which is capable of stimulating an immune response against the cell in the subject (e.g, by contact with an anti-MHC class I antibody, or a fragment or derivative thereof). The isolated porcine hepatocytes of the invention can be used to treat disorders characterized by insufficient liver function by administering the hepatocytes to a subject having such a disorder.

Cette invention se rapporte à des hépatocytes porcins isolés, à des populations isolées de ces hépatocytes et à des procédés d'utilisation de ces hépatocytes pour traiter des sujets souffrant de troubles caractérisés par une fonction hépatique insuffisante. Ces hépatocytes porcins peuvent être des hépatocytes isolés de porcs adultes, en croissance ou embryonnaires. Ces hépatocytes porcins peuvent être modifiés pour pouvoir être transplantés à un sujet xénogène, par exemple, par modification d'un antigène (tel qu'un antigène MHC de classe I) sur la surface cellulaire qui est capable de stimuler une réponse immunitaire contre les cellules du sujet (par exemple par contact avec un anticorps anti-MHC de classe I, ou un fragment ou dérivé de celui-ci). Les hépatocytes porcins isolés faisant l'objet de cette invention peuvent être utilisés pour traiter des troubles caractérisés par une fonction hépatique insuffisante, par administration de ces hépatocytes à un sujet souffrant d'un tel trouble.
