Soooo. Steen has admitted Roche is using Multicell's cells. Another brick in the mortar?

From TC with Steen April 28th. Posted on RB by leopoldiii2000

- MCT's immortalized cell lines do not have 100 % the same characteristics as fresh human hepatocytes, but they behave very similar in many ways.

- Pharmaceutical companies need them for use in early stage of drug discovery

- Pfizer, Roche and other companies are already using them

- He is very positive about the use of these cells in the long run

- During the last 3 to 5 years Pharmaceutical companies came to the conclusion that induction studies are an almost perfect prediction for inhibition studies (Hope this makes sense, but that's what I think he meant to say)

- I suggested that after I had visited their website I had the impression these immortalized hepatocytes must be their "top-product". His answer was very clear: "yes"
