Figure 1

Immunohistochemical analysis of LIF expression in normal and cirrhotic human liver. (a): LIF expression is seen in normal liver in the stroma of portal tracts (arrows); (b): LIF is strongly expressed in fibrotic septa in cirrhotic liver (arrows); (c) and (d): consecutive sections of a cirrhotic liver analyzed for LIF (c) or alpha-smooth muscle actin (d) expression. No labeling was seen when the antibodies were replaced by a species-matched control antibody.
