Comparative expression of P450s and nuclear receptors mRNA in HepaRG cells, freshly isolated human hepatocytes, and HepG2 cells

Results are expressed as percentage compared to freshly isolated hepatocytes (FIH) arbitrarily set at 100%. FIH correspond to a pool of three different cell populations. Results are the mean of two independent experiments in duplicate.
