Concentration (µM)

Day 1

Day 8

7-Ethoxycoumarin Phase I (ECOD) 100 0.234 .239
7-Hydroxycoumarin Phase II(UGT) 100 88.8 104.4
7-Hydroxycoumarin Phase II (SULT) 100 .980 .836

Cryopreserved minipig hepatocytes were thawed and plated with HUREL PlatinumHeps™ Media supplemented with 10% serum and subsequently changed 24 hours post-seeding to HUREL PlatinumHeps™ maintenance Media. CYP substrate concentrations are given in the table above along with metabolite formation recorded as nmoles/hr/million cells. All incubations were carried out in triplicate on days 1 and 8 (customer day) upon cell delivery and incubated for 60 minutes. Reactions took place in a humidified incubator at 37°C, in 5% CO2. Collected supernatants were stored at -20°C until further LC/MS/MS analysis.

Day 1 – Morphology

Phase contrast image in a 24-well at a 10x magnification.

Day 7 – Morphology

Phase contrast image in a 24-well at a 10x magnification.

Day 7 – Bile Canaliculi

Bile canaliculi assayed via 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2’, 7’-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (CDFDA) stain at a concentration of 5 µM and imaged in the GFP channel in a 24-well at 10x magnification
