Kinetics of liver inflammation in the NIF mice. (A) Body weights, (B) liver weights and (C) liver-to-body weight ratios of the NIF mice (filled circle, shaded bars) (n = 8–11) and 2,4αβNOD.Rag2+/− control mice (open circle, open bars) (n = 5–10). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001, Mann–Whitney U test after Bonferroni correction. Representative H&E-stained liver sections from (D) 4-week-old (E) 6-week-old (F) 8-week-old and (G) 18-week-old NIF mice. Framed areas are highlighted. Scale bars are 200 μm in the overview images and 50 μm in the highlighted images. Semiquantitative assessment of (H) periportal infiltrates, (I) sinusoidal infiltrates and (J) bile duct hyperplasia in the NIF mice (n = 8–11) (n = 5–10) at the indicated ages.
