Morphology, expression of transthyretin and propagation of ECPC4 cells. Representative phase contrast pictures of ECPC4 cells from passage 41 on d1 (a) and d4 (b) after sub-cultured in a 1:4 ratio as described by the distributer. The cells did not show typical epithelial morphology (a, b) and grew in overlapping layers (b). Scale bars 50 μm. c Immunofluorescence staining for the CPEC-specific marker transthyretin (TTR) is shown in pmCPECs, Immortomouse® CPECs from passage 6, grown for 7 days at non-permissive conditions and for the ECPC4 cells. Scale bars a, b and ECPC4 cells = 50 μm; pmCPECs and Immortomouse® CPECs = 100 μm
