Figure Lengend Snippet: (A-B) Representative immunofluorescence images of liver cryosections from control mice or mice challenged with acetaminophen (APAP; 600 mg/kg) for 24h. Green: (i)C3b; red: fibrin(ogen); Orange: IgM; Cyan: C1q. Scale bar represents 50 µm. (C-F) Quantification area percentage stained with fibrin(ogen) (C), IgM (D), C1q (E) and (i)C3b (F) in liver cryosections of control mice and mice receiving an APAP overdose for 24, 48 or 72h. (G) Pearson’s correlation coefficient of (i)C3b and nuclei (Hoechst) or fibrin(ogen) in the injured livers 24, 48 and 72h after APAP overdose. (H) Pearson’s correlation coefficient between (i)C3b, IgM and C1q in the injured livers 24h after APAP overdose. (I) C3 levels in the serum of control mice or challenged with APAP for 24h. (J) C3a levels in the serum of control mice or challenged with APAP for 24h. Image quantifications were pooled from 8 fields of view. Each dot represents a single mouse. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p≤0.05 compared to control; #p≤0.05 between indicated groups. APAP = acetaminophen.
