Figure Lengend Snippet: Localization of YM-1 (M2) in mouse livers . (A) Co-localization of YM-1 (red staining) and CD68 (blue staining). (B) Co-localization of YM-1 (red staining) and CD206 (blue staining). (C–F) Immunohistochemical localization of YM-1 in livers of normal mice (C,E) and in advanced fibrosis (D,F) . Magnifications: 40× (C,D) , 200× (E,F) , and 400× (A,B) . N = 4 normal mouse livers, N = 6 fibrotic mouse livers.
Article Snippet: Sections were incubated with the primary antibody for 1 h. Primary antibodies to detect fibrotic extracellular matrix (polyclonal goat anti-collagen type I from Southern Biotech), macrophages [mouse anti-human CD68 (DAKO), monoclonal rat anti-mouse CD68 (AbD Serotec, Düsseldorf, Germany), and polyclonal rabbit anti-human CD68 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology)], M1 macrophages [polyclonal rabbit anti-human and mouse IRF-5 (Protein Tech, Manchester, UK), goat polyclonal anti-human IL-12 p40 antibody (ThermoScientific), and goat polyclonal anti-human and mouse MMP9 (Santa Cruz)], and M2 macrophages [polyclonal goat anti-mouse chitinase 3-like/ECF-L (YM-1; R&D), rabbit anti-human TGM-2 (AbD Serotec) and CD206 (rat anti-mouse CD206 and mouse anti-human CD206) both from BioLegends (ITK Diagnostics, Uithoorn, The Netherlands)] were used.
Techniques: Staining, Immunohistochemical staining
