Abstract

The ontogeny of expression of the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin genes was examined in livers from late prenatal to 1-month-postpartum C3H/He mice. A parallel accumulation of both AFP and albumin mRNAs before birth, followed by a selective nonreciprocal decrease in AFP mRNA after birth, was observed. The decrease in AFP mRNA was the result of a decrease in transcription of the AFP gene, as measured by an in vitro nuclear transcription assay. We suggest a model for hepatic expression of the AFP and albumin gene cluster in which transcription of the two genes is activated simultaneously during differentiation and each gene is thereafter modulated independently in committed cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
