[Synthesis and localization of alpha fetoprotein in liver regeneration in mice]
Abstract
Typical mature hepatocytes constituting not over several per cent of the total amount of preserved hepatocytes served as the principal site of the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) localization in the liver of mice regenerating after the CCl4 poisoning or partial hepatectomy. Morphologically they failed to differ from the principal mass of hepatocytes and retained an antigen of the bile capillaries on the surface. A change id to the dynamics of the AFP level in the animal serum. Apparently in regeneration of the mouse liver the principal AFP production was realized by mature hepatocytes.
