CNPs expression in the HBV-infected human liver specimens.

<p>Panels show micrographs of liver biopsy specimens from three HBV-infected patients. Specimens were costained with antibodies against HBV X protein (red) and CNP (green); nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). These images were collected at 100 magnification and show the representative images. Control micrograph was collected from the non-infectious area. The dashed rectangle in P2 (Patient 2) indicated the HBx positive but CNP negative cells; the real line indicated the both positive area. The enlarge panel exhibits the subcellular distribution of HBx and CNP from the real line area of P3 panel.
