Fibrinogen-like protein 2 deficiency inhibits virus-induced fulminant hepatitis through abrogating inflammatory macrophage activation

Figure 2 Dynamic alteration of macrophage subsets during viral fulminant hepatitis progression. A: Time-course H&E staining on liver sections of mice after murine hepatitis virus strain 3 infection. Arrowheads indicated hepatocyte cytoplasmic destruction, Circles pointed to necrosis; B: ALT and AST levels from serum of mice post-viral infection; C: Flow cytometry of KCs (CD45+ F4/80high), MoMFs (CD45+ Ly6C+ F4/80int) of cells (left), and their percentage in the liver at various time point after viral infection; D: Flow cytometry of KCs (left) and frequency of M1 (iNOS+), M2 (CD206+) macrophages in KCs (right); E: Representative image of MoMFs (left) and frequency of Ly6Chigh and Ly6Clow MoMFs at different time point after viral infection. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5). These experiments were repeated at least three times. KCs: Kuffer cells; MoMFs: Monocyte derived macrophages.
