Renal histopathology. The top panel shows the control at the beginning of the trial and histology four weeks after each treatment by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The bottom panel displays the glomerular direct immunofluorescence (IF) in the basal condition (control) and at the end of the trial. The immunofluorescence shows deposition of IgG in the glomerulus. Nuclei were counterstained using propidium iodide.
