HGF concentration in blood and tissues of wild-type SCID (WT SCID) and human HGF knock-in SCID (hHGF KI SCID) mice was determined by ELISA using two different kits for mouse and human HGF, respectively. The levels of mouse HGF expression in WT SCID mice were compared to the levels of human HGF expression in hHGF KI SCID mice. (A) HGF concentration in plasma and serum. Values are expressed in pg/ml and represent the mean of 3 different mice. HGF concentration in serum is higher because platelets release HGF during the clotting process. (B) HGF concentration in liver, kidney, lung and spleen. Values are expressed in pg/mg of protein and represent the mean of 3 different mice.
