    Abstract:
    Transgenic mice were obtained that contained a gene of human hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The integrated HBsAg DNA sequences were inherited in the normal Mendelian fashion. 6 of 25 investigated transgenic mice expressed the HBsAg. The expression was detected in the serum and within the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Specific tissue pathology was shown in these animals, including systemic hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue and degenerative changes in the liver and kidney parenchymatous cell elements.
