Abstract
In this review the characteristics of established renal and intestinal epithelial cell lines are described by summarizing the accumulated literature about specific properties retained by the cells in tissue culture. Furthermore, brief examples are given for the use of cultured epithelia as model systems to study epithelial transport and metabolic functions, epithelial cell polarity, and aspects of the differentiation and maturation of epithelia by physiological, biochemical and genetic, or cell and molecular biological approaches.Keywords
