Abstract excerpt
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) gene expression occurs in the yolk sac, fetal liver and gut, and in the adult liver during regeneration and tumorigenesis. Polymorphism at a single genetic locus, Afr-2 (formerly known as Rif) between inbred mouse strains C3H/He and C57B1/6, results in different levels of AFP expression during liver regeneration. We examined AFP, histone H3, and albumin gene expression during liver...
