Figure 3. Tim-3 and IL-12 expression in M/MØ is differentially regulated by hepatocytes expressing HCV.

Figure 3

A) Immunofluoresence staining of HCV core protein in Huh-7 cells 48 h after HCV-JFH-1 (left) or mock (right) transfection. Higher magnificent imaging (×40) is inserted at upper left corner. B) Tim-3 expression on M/MØ co-cultured with HCV-transfected (red line) or mock-transfected (green line) Huh-7 cells without (left) or with (right) LPS/R848 stimulation. C) Representative Time-course of Tim-3 expression on CD14+ M/MØ co-cultured with HCV+ Huh-7 versus HCV Huh-7 cells from two reproducible experiments. D) IL-12 expression in M/MØ co-cultured with HCV+ Huh-7 versus HCV Huh-7 cells, shown as dot plot, histogram, and bar figure in multiple experiments.
