Changes in foreign-body phagocytic capacity and surface proteins of Kupffer cells (KCs). (a) Immunohistochemistry of F4/80 in liver. The arrow indicates the F4/80-positive cells. Scale bar, 50 µm. (b) Percentage of F4/80-positive cells in liver non-parenchymal cell fraction (flow cytometric analysis). (c) Latex beads phagocytic capacity of KCs. (d) Expression levels of surface proteins of KCs. For all groups, n = 8. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error. *P < 0.05, significantly different from the 3moR group.
