Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 3. CD24 expression in normal, untreated, and DDC-treated liver. (A–F) Colocalization of CD24 and CK19 expression in wild-type untreated and DDC-treated livers. CD24 expression on bile duct epithelium was weak in untreated liver compared with red blood cells (A). Note that red blood cells in the vein (A) are strongly stained with CD24, but are CK19 negative in the merged view. To eliminate the high background signal from the red blood cells, the microscopic field was limited to the bile duct area outlined in yellow. The panel below each frame (A–C) shows staining of cells in ductular regions. CD24 (A, D, red) colocalized with CK19 (B, E, green) in the periportal zone in both untreated and DDC-treated liver (C, F). CD24 is induced in DDC-treated ductal cells (D), which correlated with the expansion of expression of CK19 (E). The magnification is 400·. (G–N) Immunohistochemical staining of CD24 and A6 antibodies on adjacent sections of normal wildtype and DDC-treated liver. In normal, untreated, wildtype liver, CD24 was expressed on red blood cells in the vein (labeled by lines) and ductal cells (G, H, green). In the same location of adjacent slides, A6 expression showed ductular staining similar to that of CD24 (I, J, green). In DDC-treated liver, the ductal expansion of CD24 expression (K, L, green) was similar to that of A6 (M, N, green). DNA is stained with DAPI blue. The magnification is 200·.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Total serum IgG antibody in rats pre- and post-challenge (survivors) with Type A F. tularensis FRAN244/Schu S4 strain. Animals were immunized and challenged as described in the legend to Figure 2. Serum IgG antibody and subclasses specific to irradiated FRAN244 (Type A antigen) were assayed. a. Total serum antibody and subclasses in immunized rats prior to challenge with aerosolized F. tularensis Type A FRAN244/Schu S4 strain. For IgG, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG2c, all vaccinated groups had significantly greater titers than the PBS group (p<0.01-p<0.001). For IgG1, all vaccinated groups except LVS, rLVS 107 x1 rLVS 107 x2 groups had significantly greater titers than the PBS group (p <0.05 - p <0.001). Values represent median with interquartile range (Q1 and Q3 for the whiskers) of serum antibody for n = 7 or 8 per group. b. Total serum antibody and subclasses in immunized rats surviving challenge with aerosolized F. tularensis Type A strains. Values represent median with interquartile range (Q1 and Q3 for the whiskers) of serum antibody. Notes: in Fischer rats, IgG2b/2c indicates a Th1 type response and IgG1/2a indicates a Th2 type response. Values that are significantly different between two groups are marked with asterisk(s) over an open horizontal line crossing above the two groups. * p <0 .05; ** p < 0.01; and *** p < 0.001.
