When inoculated with sporozoites of Plasmodium berghei, a line of hepatoma cells (HepG2-
A16) derived from human liver supports the complete asexual developmental cycle of the
exoerythrocytic stage. Parasites were shown to resemble parasites in vivo in hepatocytes.
Subinoculation of merozoites into mice induced a red blood cell infection.
