From: Endotoxin and CD14 in the progression of biliary atresia
Endotoxin levels in liver tissues of patients with BA. Immunohistochemical staining for endotoxin in the liver tissues of controls (biopsy from neonatal hepatitis and hepatoplastoma) (A), patients with CC (B), patients with early-stage BA (C), and patients with late-stage BA (D). Liver sections were stained using a monoclonal antibody against lipid A (HM2046) (left column), mouse IgG1 isotype control antibody (ab27479) (right column) and counterstained with hematoxylin. Lipid-A immunoreactivity was detected in hepatocytes (arrowhead) and biliary epithelial cells (arrow), Original magnification: × 200.
