Figure 1
NNAV reduced the lymphadenopathy. After treatment of MRL/lpr mice with NNAV for 16 weeks, mice were killed and spleens were dissected. All spleen samples were weighed immediately (a). Data represent mean values ± SD from 8 to 10 mice per group. (versus model). Spleen sections (b) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and observed with a microscopy at 100x magnification. Arrows: white pulp. The area of white pulp (c) was calculated with Image-Pro Plus. Data represent mean values ± SD from 4 mice per group. (versus model).
