Abstract

Sinusoidal uptake capacity for hepatocyte or MAA particles varies at a wide range in normal rabbits. Scintigraphic monitoring of transplanted cells allows efficient monitoring of cell translocation into the lungs. No significant impairments of portal hemodynamics and liver function were detected.
