Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against experimental liver fibrosis in rats

Figure 5 Analysis of liver histopathology and immunohistochemistry in rats induced with DMN. A: DMN10; B: DMN20; C: DMN10/MSCs; D: DMN20/MSCs; E: DMN10/saline; 1: HE staining, original magnification ×100; 2: MT staining, original magnification ×100; 3: immunohistochemistry for α-SMA, DAB staining, original magnification ×400; F: MT and α-SMA staining was quantified using IBAS 2.5 software. Data represent the fold-increase in positive staining vs saline. Values are presented as mean±SD. ^aP<0.05 vs DMN20/MSCs, ^bP<0.01 vs DMN10/saline respectively.
