Immunofluorescence staining of caspase 3 (a) and I𝜅B (b). Cy3-positive cells (nucleated cells) are in red. There was an increased number of apoptotic cells by caspase 3 staining in the LTx group (A1) and an inhibition of phosphorylation of the inhibitor I𝜅B in the LTx/PFC group (B2). ((A1) and (B1)—LTx group; (A2) and (B2)—LTx/PFC group.)
