Fig 1. Longitudinal serum ALT and human albumin levels in HIL mice post HCV infection.

3 cohorts of HIL mice were either mock infected or infected with a 10⁶ or 10⁷ ffu dose of HCV. For mice that survived more than 8 weeks, serum taken from each mouse every month were analysed (Cohort 1: mock n = 8, 10⁶ ffu HCV n = 10, 10⁷ ffu HCV n = 10. Cohort 2: mock n = 10, 10⁷ ffu HCV n = 13. Cohort 3: mock n = 3, 10⁷ ffu HCV n = 11). (A, C, E) Serum ALT and (B, D, F) HSA levels were measured at various time points for a period of 27–28 weeks post HCV infection.
