Fig. 2From: CTGF in kidney fibrosis and glomerulonephritisMacrophage recruitment in Rosa-CTGF cKO mice with anti-GBM nephritis at the earlier stage. a Representative photomicrographs of the kidneys at 1 week after induction of anti-GBM nephritis (PAS staining). Left upper panel, control mice with anti-GBM nephritis; right upper panel show, Rosa-CTGF cKO mice with anti-GBM nephritis. Bar represents 50 μm. b Immunohistochemical studies for MAC-2 at 1 week after induction of anti-GBM nephritis. Bar represents 50 μm. c Changes in proteinuria at 1 week after induction of anti-GBM nephritis. d The number of MAC-2-positive cells at 1 week after induction of anti-GBM nephritis. Values are expressed as means ± s.e. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. control GBMBack to article page
