Figure 2. Detection of autoantibodies against a 47-kDa cellular protein in sera from patients with liver fibrosis.
Western blot shows that only sera from patients with pre-cirrhotic stage of liver fibrosis (lanes 6–10) rather than normal human sera (lanes 1–5) or sera from patients at the cirrhotic stage of liver fibrosis (lanes 11–15) contain antibodies against a 47-kDa cellular protein.
