Table 2.

Aminotransferases 24 h after toxin administration

Mouse strain AST, units/liter ALT, units/liter
BALB/c WT 20,476  ±  2,583 4,554  ±  726
BALB/c SCID 17,787  ±  3,032 4,256  ±  3,762
C57BL/6 WT 26,620  ±  4,841 4,667  ±  1,503
C57BL/6 SCID 4,002  ±  916* 2,225  ±  2,439

Liver injury was induced by administration of CCl4 by gavage (3.5 ml/kg, mixed 1:1 with corn oil). Twenty-four hours after gavage, serum aminotransferase levels were measured. WT, wild type; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase.
