Immunofluorescence expression of claudin-1, claudin-4 and junction adhesion molecule-A (A) and occludin, ZO-1 and F-actin (B) in the mucosa of the terminal ileum. Images shown are representative of at least three regions observed on the same slide. Group I : Sham-operation; Group II: Bile duct ligation (BDL); Group III: BDL + Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum); Group IV: BDL + internal biliary drainage (IBD); Group V = BDL + IBD + L. plantarum. JAM-A: Junction adhesion molecule-A.
