Figure 1.

Release of proteins during ischemic storage of liver. Release of proteins into the effluent collected at defined intervals within after 24 h cold ischemia or 6 h warm ischemia was visualized by silver staining after electrophoresis. The concentration of total protein increased substantially within the first 30/60 min of warm/cold ischemia. Arrows indicated the positions of HMGB1 and MIF. (a) Cold ischemia; (b) mechanical stress plus cold ischemia; (c) warm ischemia, (d) mechanical stress plus warm ischemia.
