Figure 2. Effects of BSE-CD treatment on the NF-κB pathway activation in the liver tissue of mice infected with S. japonicum.

Mice were treated as described in Fig. 1. (A) Sections of the liver tissue were analyzed immunohistochemically for the phosphorylated form of IKK. (B) The activation of NF-κB was measured by EMSA. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8 for each group). *P<0.05 versus corresponding infected mice or the cyclodextrin (280 mg/kg) group.
