Activated rat hepatic stellate cells influence Th1/Th2 profile in vitro

Figure 4 Galectin-9 expression in activated hepatic stellate cells. A: Immunofluorescence analysis of galectin-9 expression (left panel, green) in activated rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) (right panel, nuclear costain) (magnification × 400); B: Western blot analysis of galectin-9 expression in activated rat HSCs cultured alone or co-cultured with CD4⁺ T lymphocytes (n = 5). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ^aP < 0.05, cultured alone vs co-cultured.
