Panel A: CD11c immunostain clearly define hepatic granulomas in PBC patients. (A) Representative immunohistochemical staining for CD11c in liver sections from PBC (n=51), AIH (n=37) and CHB (n= 30) (magnification 400×). Five fields were randomly selected and the area of CD11c deposition scored on a 0-4 scale to be compared between PBC, AIH and CHB patients (*p<0.05, ** p<0.01). Panel B: Representative hematoxylin-eosin staining and CD11c immunostaining of hepatic granulomas in portal tracts illustrating the vicinity with injured bile ducts (magnification 400×). Panel C: Representative CD11c immunostaining of small granulomas in hepatic lobules (Left) (magnification 400×), which in some cases are located in the vicinity of the portal tracts germinal center (Right) (magnification 200×).
