Therapy with bone marrow cells reduces liver alterations in mice chronically infected by Schistosoma mansoni

Figure 6 Increased numbers of oval cells after BMC therapy. Oval cells (OV-6⁺ stained in red) in sections of saline (A) or BMC (B) treated mice 2 mo after transplantation by iv route. C: The number of oval cells in liver sections of uninfected, saline-treated or BMC-treated S. mansoni-infected mice 2 mo after cellular infusion by iv route was determined by immunofluorescence analysis using an anti-OV-6 antibody. Data represents the mean ± SE of 5-6 animals per group. ^aP < 0.05 compared to uninfected group; ^bP < 0.001 compared to saline-treated group.
