Treatment of rats with IFN-γ enhances the number of ED1 positive cells. Animals were treated with CCl4 or with CCl4 and IFN-γ and livers were taken for analysis 3 h (3 h), 6 h (6 h) or 12 h (12 h) after treatment. Sections were stained by indirect immunohistochemistry using a monoclonal antibody against ED1. Positive cells were counted in 10 purviews (250 × magnification). Error bars indicate standard deviation of the mean value of 10 counted purviews. P-value was tested to show significance differences of rats 12 h after treatment with CCl4 compared to treatment with CCl4 and IFN-γ. * indicates p < 0.05.
