Figure 6From: The Synergistic Effect of Tautomycetin on Cyclosporine A-Mediated Immunosuppression in a Rodent Islet Allograft ModelDetection of the FoxP3-expressing cells after islet allograft recipients. (A) FoxP3 mRNA expression in islet grafted liver tissue was analyzed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. (B) The relative intensity of FoxP3 mRNA levels was measured using densitometry and normalized to the levels of the housekeeping gene GAPDH on d 7, 14 and 21. (C) A histological examination conducted on d 30 after islet transplantation. FoxP3-positive cell infiltration was determined by immnunohistochemical staining using anti-FoxP3 monoclonal antibodies (arrow) (original magnification 200×).Back to article page
