Liver sections from 12-month-old mice of the Atg7ΔHep genotype were subjected to H-E staining (a) (original magnification, ×200) and immunostaining for CK19 (b), SOX9 (c), Desmin immunostaining (d), Sirius Red stain (e), or Trichrome stain (f) (original magnification, ×200). Dotted lines indicate the tumor border. NT, non-tumor, T, tumor.
