TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β.

Semiquantitative assessment of staining: intensity of immunostaining was quantified as described in the Materials and Methods section. For type IV collagen and TGF-β, % of positive staining area per glomerular cross-section was measured by MetaMorph software. For Ki67 and CD68, number of positive cells per glomerular cross-section was counted.
