Induction of Antinuclear Antibodies by De Novo Autoimmune Hepatitis Regulates Alloimmune Responses in Rat Liver Transplantation

Figure 5

Hepatic levels of Foxp3 (a) and IL-10 (b) during the rejection phase after OLT or in the course of Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis. The results are expressed as the mean of five individuals ± SD. **Significantly different compared with the control PBS group ( ) ( , Student’s t-test). (c) Protein level of Foxp3 in naïve and OLT livers at rejection (day 7) or acceptance (>200 days) was semiquantified by Western blot. Results are expressed as the mean of three independent experiments (ratio to naïve DA) ± SD. *Significantly different compared with naïve DA livers ( ).
