Isolated rabbit enterocytes as a model cell system for investigations of chylomicron assembly and secretion

A method is described for the isolation of viable enterocytes from rabbit small intestine. The procedure can also be used to isolate populations of epithelial cells from the crypt/villus gradient. The isolated enterocytes synthesized and secreted apoB-48 and triacylglycerol in particles of the densi...
