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. 

^*P < 0.05 SCID C57BL/6 vs. SCID BALB/c mice (n = 4 for each group).
