Research Abstract |
A model of heterotopic partial liver transplantation was established for curative treatment for hemophilia which was caused by deficiency of factor VIII produced in the liver. Experiment of hepatocyte transplantation using ADAMTS13 knockout mice revealed that untreated hepatocytes transplanted from wild type donor to the recipient did not produce detectable amount of ADAMTS13 activity. Clinical observations in patients with liver surgery showed that major hepatectomy resulted in significant decrease of plasma ADAMTS13 activity.
