A method for obtaining a population of enriched cells in hepatic star cell progenitors from a suspension of individual cells provided from mammalian liver, the method comprises, sequentially, in any order, or essentially simultaneously: (a) remove cells expressing MHC class Ia antigen from the suspension of individual cells; and, (b) isolate cells that are positive for Vitamin A fluorescence from the cell suspension; to obtain a population of enriched cells in the hepatic star cell progenitors. |
