Characterization of ductular cells from AAF/CCL4-induced cirrhosis rat model. (A,B) Flow cytometry analysis of freshly isolated ductular cells from normal (A) and AAF/CCL4 (B) livers. The y-axis indicates EpCAM expression (PE fluorescence) and the x-axis represents side scatter (SSC). The positive and negative fractions of each liver were collected as described in the Materials and Methods. Percentage of cells expressing EpCAM is shown. (C) Identity of EpCAM-expressing cells in the positive fraction was further confirmed by staining for SOX9 and CK19.
