Histological features of sham operated (sham) and advanced CRF rat kidneys. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E) in sham operated (sham) and advanced CRF rat kidneys. (a) and (b) Low-power views of cortex. Magnification, ×20. (c) and (d) High-power views of cortical interstitium. Magnification, ×60. (B) The mRNA abundance of CD3 (left) and ED-1 (right) in the renal cortex of sham operated and advanced CRF (CRF) rat kidneys. # versus sham operated rats. Values are means ± SEM ( ). Differences were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s or Student’s -test. (C) Immunohistochemistry using antibody for Ki-67 (brown) in sham operated and advanced CRF rat kidneys. (a) and (b) High-power views of cortical interstitium. Magnification, ×60.
