Expression patterns of hepatic PCNA, P21 and Cyclin B1 during liver regeneration from ConA-challenged wild type and CD1-/- mice. a Western blotting analysis of hepatic remnant lysates, as described in materials and methods, was performed 48 h after PH using anti PCNA, anti p21 and anti cyclinB1. β-actin was used as loading control. The illustrated bands are representative of 3 mice per group. b Densitometry of PCNA c Densitometry of Cyclin B1 d Densitometry of p21. Bars are means ± standard error values of intensity for individual bands that were quantified using EZQuant-Gel densitometry software, and expressed relative to β-actin, as a measure of protein relative abundance in the different liver samples. * p < 0.02, relative to wt. a.u.: arbitrary units
