Immunohistochemical staining of αSMA and MAC-2 in control and systemic p38 MAPK KO mice. (a) Immunohistochemical staining of αSMA in the peritoneum of control and systemic p38 KO mice treated with PBS or CG, shown in photomicrographs at low and high magnification. (b) The number of αSMA-positive cells in the peritoneum. (c) Immunohistochemical staining of MAC-2 in the peritoneum, shown in photomicrographs at low and high magnification. (d) The number of MAC-2-positive cells in the peritoneum. LPF; Low power field, HPF; High power field, Scale bars represent 100 µm.
