De Novo Endotoxin-Induced Production of Antibodies against the Bile Salt Export Pump Associated with Bacterial Infection following Major Hepatectomy

Figure 3

Bile salt export pump (BSEP) protein expression on the hepatocyte membrane. Western blot of BSEP protein expression in liver tissue at postoperative day 4 showed a relative decrease in BSEP expression in the hepatocyte membrane of mice that had undergone 70% hepatectomy and subsequently treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Arrow indicates BSEP protein expression (146 kDa).
