Figure 5From: Autophagic response in the Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, an animal model of virally-induced fulminant hepatic failureEffects of RHDV infection on markers of apoptosis. A: Liver activity of caspase-3. Values are expressed as means S.E.M (n = 6). *P < 0.05, compared with Control. Samples were incubated with the specific fluorigenic substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC. B-C: Western blot of markers of autophagy. Proteins from liver extracts were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by immunoblotting. Equal loading of proteins is illustrated by GAPDH bands. The graph shows densitometric quantification. Values are expressed as means S.E.M (n = 6). *P < 0.05, compared with Control.Back to article page
