Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice were constructed using human alpha 1-antitrypsin M and Z genomic clones. Livers of the M lineage mice showed slight cellular pleomorphism and immunohistochemically demonstrable finely granular alpha 1-antitrypsin material in hepatocytes. Z lineage mice with five gene copies per haploid mouse genome (Z#1) demonstrated fine granular alpha 1-antitrypsin material and a few large globules. In contrast,...
