Single cell qRT-PCR (scPCR) for rat hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cell (BEC)-enriched non-parenchymal cells (NPCs).

Using FACS-sorted adult rat hepatocytes with distinct DNA contents (2c and 4c), we compared the expression levels of a 47 gene panel. As non-hepatic control samples, BEC-enriched NPCs were also used for the same scPCR experiment.
