Hepatic progenitors expressed liver-enriched transcription factor HNF4α. a Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis revealed that isolated rat hepatic oval cells expressed OV6, BD1, and Dlk. b Immunophenotype of hepatic oval cells was further revealed by double immunofluorescence staining for EpCAM and HNF1β or AFP and Sox9. c RT-PCR analysis revealed that rat hepatic oval cells (OVC) expressed HNF4α, yet to a lesser extent compared to rat hepatocytes.
