Inhibition of liver regeneration in SCID mice transplanted with hepatocytes or injected with serum from HBx-LacZ or LacZ transgenic mice. (A) Macroscopic evaluation of the livers of SCID mice transplanted with hepatocytes from 10- to 15-day-old HBx-LacZ transgenic mice (HBx-LacZ 15d) or 10- to 15-day-old LacZ transgenic mice (LacZ 15d) 8 days after partial hepatectomy. (B) Box plots of the liver weights of transplanted (hepatocytes) or injected (serum) SCID mice after partial hepatectomy. Transplanted hepatocytes were obtained from 10- to 15-day-old HBx-LacZ mice (HBx-LacZ 15d), or 10- to 15-day-old LacZ mice (LacZ 15d) or from 90-day-old HBx-LacZ mice (HBx-LacZ 90d) or 90-day-old LacZ mice (LacZ 90d). Serum was obtained from 10- to 15-day-old HBx-LacZ mice (HBx 15d) or 90-day-old HBx-LacZ mice (HBx 90d).
