Abstract

Although the colonic cell line Caco-2 is widely used as a model of the small intestinal barrier function, it has limitations such as overestimated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) compared to in vivoconditions. Therefore, we investigated Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells (HIECs) as an alternative in vitromodel.
