Figure 8. CXCR-4 expression in small liver allografts after transplantation.
CXCR-4 positive cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining. CXCR-4 positive cells appeared in liver allografts as early as 3 hours after transplantation, and increased in a time-dependent fashion. CXCR-4 labeled hepatocytes at 10 day and 1 month after transplantation. Representative photographs of three individual samples.
