As a result, in mice administered the anti-CXCL10 neutralizing antibody the serum alanine transferase (ALT3) level was significantly lower, and histologically too the area of necrotized hepatic cells was strikingly reduced.
The following results were observed: platelets 127,000/[micro]L (normal 150,000-450,000), aspartate aminotransferase 108 U/L (normal <31), alanine amino-transferase 154 U/L (normal <34), gamma-glutamyl transferase 98 U/L (normal <38), lactate dehydrogenase 317 U/L (normal <247), alkaline phosphatase 314 U/L (normal <237), direct bilirubin 4.
An obvious target for genetic engineering is the rubber transferase enzyme, the biological catalyst that polymerizes natural rubber from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), an allylic pyrophosphate (usually farnesyl pyrophosphate, FPP, in vivo) being required to initiate the reaction.
