title: Genotypic differentiation of intrahepatically transplanted hyperplastic nodule cells of analbuminemic and normal rat origin by polymerase chain reaction.
abstract: DNA fragments encompassing the region of the seven-base-pair deletion in the albumin gene, which is a characteristic abnormality of Nagase's analbuminemic rat (NAR), were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and we could differentiate the genotypes of normal rat, homozygous NAR and heterozygous NAR electrophoretically. This genotyping method was applied to the differentiation of hyperplastic nodules on immunostained tissue sections in the intrahepatic transplantation model. When the hyperplastic nodule cells of normal rat were transplanted to the livers of homozygous NAR, the donor cells were effectively differentiated from the host cells by the genotype.
