Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of ADSC transplantation on the PCNA-labeling index at 24, 72, and 168 h postoperatively. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of the results from five animals. * P<0.01, vs. PH group; ** P<0.01, vs. R-PH group. ADSC, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen; PH, partial hepatectomy; R-PH, repeat PH.
Article Snippet: Briefly, following fixation with formalin and paraffin embedding, the liver tissue sections were incubated with rabbit anti-rat polyclonal antibody against PCNA (cat. no. GTX100539; 1:500 dilution; Genetex Inc. Irvine, CA, USA) at 4°C overnight, and subsequently with a 3′,3-diaminobenzidine kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China).
Techniques: Transplantation Assay, Labeling, Standard Deviation, Derivative Assay
