Differential clearance of dystrophic calcified necrotic liver lesions in WT and CD154KO mice: von Kossa staining. Representative von Kossa-stained liver tissue sections of WT and CD154KO mice at time 0 (a) and after 3 (b and c) and 9 (d) CCl₄ injections (inj.). Top panels, low magnifications (scale bar 500 μm); bottom panels, high magnifications (scale bar 100 μm); ( for each condition in each group of mice). (c) High magnifications (scale bar 50 μm) from (b) ( injections), highlighting MGCs associated to dystrophic calcified areas (arrows).
