Figure 2

The maximum mitral valve thickness in 8-week old K/BxN mice of the indicated genotypes for the genes encoding (A) C3 and FcRγ and (B) C5 and FcRγ is plotted. Each point represents one mouse. P-values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test. (C, D) Representative photomicrographs of mitral valves from K/BxN mice of the indicated genotypes stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (Objective 20x; Scale bars are 100 μm).
