Intestinal dendritic cells change in number in fulminant hepatic failure

Figure 1 Immunohistochemical staining of CD11b/c (A) and CD83 (B) and integrated optical density of CD11b/c (C) and CD83 (D). From left to right panel: Normal saline (NS) group, D-galactosamine (D-Galn) group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, and fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) group (A and B). The integrated optical density of CD11b/c (C) and CD83 (D) in the FHF group was notably increased compared with those of the NS group, but there was no significant difference compared with the LPS and D-Galn groups. The integrated optical density of CD11b/c in the LPS and D-Galn groups, as well as CD83 in the LPS group, was notably increased compared with that of the NS group (^bP < 0.001 vs the NS group, one way ANOVA with Dunnett test, n≥ 15).
