Description of albumin mutations and MSA levels. (A) TALEN targeted region of albumin exon 4, DNA and predicted amino acid sequences. Dashes indicate deleted base(s) in the mutant allele and the amino acids in gray illustrate the predicted change from wild type sequence due to the frame shift. In B6-Alb-/-, TALEN-mediated deletion causes a frame shift leading to a premature stop codon 55 amino acids downstream (not shown). In Tg32-Alb-/- the mutation leads to a frame shift and a stop codon 5 amino acids downstream (boxed*). (B) Mouse albumin concentrations in serum. For each group, 4 males and 4 females were analyzed. MSA concentrations of mice for Alb-null homozygotes were below the detection limit of the ELISA (0.2 g/L).
