Detection of Autoantibodies to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3 in Bile Duct Ligated Rats and Correlations with a Panel of Traditional Markers of Liver Diseases

Figure 2

Correlations between absorbances associated with the serum levels of autoantibodies to VEGFR-3 and a panel of traditional markers of liver injury, cholestasis, and fibrosis measured in serum and liver. Correlations between absorbances associated with the serum levels of VEGFR-3 autoantibody obtained in the indirect ELISA and (a) serum AST activity, (b) serum ALT activity, (c) TB serum levels, and (d) relative fibrotic area in liver obtained in all experimental groups. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; TB: total bilirubin; VEGFR-3: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3.
