doi: 10.1016/j.gastha.2025.100745
Figure Lengend Snippet: Quantified KLB protein levels using AB4 in liver biopsies of patients with varying stages of MASLD (n = 28). (A) Overview of patient liver biopsies with MASLD stained with AB4, separated into different fibrosis grades. (B and C) Association of KLB protein expression levels with typical MASLD characteristics, specifically (B) lobular inflammation (Kruskal–Wallis, P = .0168), (C) portal inflammation (Kruskal–Wallis, P = .0809), (D) fibrosis grade (Kruskal–Wallis, P = .6602), (E) steatosis grade (Kruskal–Wallis, P = .7834), and (F) ballooning (Kruskal–Wallis, P = .1097).
Article Snippet: Primary and secondary antibodies AB1 (106794, Abcam), AB2 (SAB2108630, Sigma Aldrich), AB3 (MAB5889, R&D systems), and AB4 (AF5889, R&D systems) for KLB were used for antibody validation.
