Figure 2From: Different effects of rat interferon alpha, beta and gamma on rat hepatic stellate cell proliferation and activationExpression of SMA and desmin in sub-cultured HSCs. Hepatic stellate cells were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rat and cultured for 9 days. Cells were then incubated with trypsin and sub-cultured for days indicated. The upper panel represents abundance of SMA while the lower panel represents abundance of desmin.Back to article page
