Figure 6 Apoptosis in colitic mice after infection with S. japonicum. A: Immunofluorescence staining of cleaved-caspase3 (C-C3) and TUNEL staining; B and C: Respective quantification of C-C3 and TUNEL positive cells; D: Bax and Bal-2 were tested by Western blot; E and F: Respective quantification of Bax and Bal-2. n = 3. DSS: Dextran sodium sulfate treatment alone; CER + DSS: Infection with S. japonicum before DSS treatment; CER: S. japonicum infection alone.
