From: Recombinant Sj16 protein with novel activity alleviates hepatic granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japonicum associated with M2 macrophages in a mouse model

Fig. 2

Hepatic fibrosis was relieved after treatment with rSj16 protein and Sj16 peptide. a Representative liver granulomas stained with Masson’s Trichrome at 6, 8 and 10 weeks post-infection (collagen in blue). Scale-bars: 100 μm. b Collagen deposition positive areas were digitized and analyzed on Image Pro Plus image software. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with the PBS group; ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, compared with the GST group. Similar results were obtained in two repeat experiments
