Figure 1: Mobilization of hepatic cells to the circulatory system in experimental myocardial ischemia. (A) Fluorescence micrograph showing hepatocytes in the liver marked with an anti-albumin antibody (red). (B) Presence of albumin+ hepatic cells (red) in a blood sample from the vena cava (from the liver to the right atrium) in myocardial ischemia. (C) Fluorescence micrograph showing EYFP+ hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells (green). Red: CK19.pv: portal vein. *: bile duct. (D) Presence of EYFP+ hepatic cells (green) in a blood sample from the vena cava (from the liver to the right atrium) in myocardial ischemia. Blue: cell nuclei for all panels. Scale: 10 µm for all panels. |
