A novel animal model for in vivo study of liver cancer metastasis

Table 1 Serum concentrations of human albumin and human alpha-fetoprotein in host mice at 56 d post-transplantation

Experimentalgroups	Transplanted cells	No. of animals	Serum concentration
			h-Alb (mg/mL)	h-AFP (mg/mL)
A	h-GCCs	4	UD	7.1-324.2 (211.0 ± 142.2)
B	h-GCCs and h-hepatocytes	6	0.03-9.1  (3.1 ± 3.5)	0.3-126.1 (54.3 ± 60.7)

The numerals represent the range of the concentrations and those in the parentheses indicate the mean ± SD. h-GCCs: Human gastric cancer cells; h-Alb: Human albumin; h-AFP: Human alpha-fetoprotein; h-hepatocytes: Human hepatocytes; UD: Undetectable.
