Figure 4From: Dynamic changes in cell-surface expression of mannose in the oral epithelium during the development of graft-versus-host disease of the oral mucosa in rats Mannose-binding protein (MBP) expression in tongue and spleen specimens of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) rats. Infiltrating cells are expressed immunohistochemically by anti-MBP antibody (Ab) (a). Western blot analysis of MBP levels of the tongue and spleen from control and GVHD rats (b). Both tongue and spleen from the GVHD-mediated rats show remarkable reaction with MBP. β-actin (ACTB) was similarly analyzed as a loading control. Bar = 100 μm.Back to article page
