Identification of IL-28B Genotype Modification in Hepatocytes after Living Donor Liver Transplantation by Laser Capture Microdissection and Pyrosequencing Analysis

(a) Liver graft biopsy of recipients investigated by IL-28B polymorphism rs8099917 allelic discrimination, using a 7500 Fast Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction System (Applied Biosystems International, Framingham, MA). The green triangles represent genotype GT in 9 cases and the blue squares represent genotype TT in 41 cases. NTC means no template control
(b) Real-time polymerase chain reaction to explore IL-28B rs8099917 polymorphisms in the peripheral blood of recipients at postoperative day 30 (POD30) after receiving a living donor liver transplantation. The red circles represent genotype GG in 2 cases, the green triangles represent genotype GT in 19 cases, and the blue squares represent genotype TT in 29 cases
