Relationship between lymphocyte apoptosis and endotoxin translocation after thermal injury in rats

Figure 1 Comparison of the LPS levels postburn in portal vein and in vena cava. ^bP < 0.01, vs control; ^cP < 0.01, portal vein vs vena cava

Figure 2 The relative proportions of apoptotic lymphocytes postburn. ^bP < 0.01, vs control

Figure 3 The results of typical flow cytometric analysis of postburn apoptotic lymphocytes. a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h were the relative proportion of apoptotic lymphocytes isolated from one rat in the control and group 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 PBH, respectively.

Figure 4 Apoptotic lymphocytes in spleen and MLN. (TUNEL-POD staining × 400, the nuclei stained brown are positive apoptotic cells). A: MLN from the healthy rat; B: MLN from the rat at 3 PBH; C: Spleen from the healthy rat; D: Spleen from the rat 24 PBH.
