Figure 5 Immunohistochemical staining for Smad7 in liver sections. ×400 for A, B, C and D. (A) Normal liver displayed ubiquitous and strong staining for Smad7 in hepatocytes; (B) Weak staining of Smad7 was observed in the model group, which was in contrast to the abundant expression of TGF-β1 and Smad3 in liver of the group; (C) The staining intensity in JinSanE group I was much stronger than that in the model group, and the slender connective tissue septa were strongly immunoreactive; and (D) Strong staining for the Smad7 in JinSanE group II was observed.
