Abstract
A surgical procedure (partial hepatectomy) in the nonhuman primate allows repeated removal of large liver tissue samples from a single animal for the preparation of liver tissue slices and primary cell culture of hepatocytes. The open biopsy procedure, alternating non-anatomic and anatomic partial liver resection monthly on the same liver lobe, follows a surgical protocol allowing animal welfare, survival, and multiple sampling (at least 8) from the same animal, thus reducing considerably the number of animals needed for research purposes.
