Moreover, there was a significantly higher basal level of CCN2 immunostaining in Alb-CCN2 TG versus WT mice, and this difference was highly exaggerated when the mice were placed on a CDAA-HF diet, with considerable CCN2 staining in both parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells (Figure 5D). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
