Fig. 6From: Tim-3 signaling blockade with α-lactose induces compensatory TIGIT expression in Plasmodium berghei ANKA-infected miceWestern blotting results of lung and spleen tissues in P. berghei ANKA-infected mice with or without α-lactose treatment. (a–h) BAX and cleaved-Caspase 3 levels in mouse spleens (a–d) and lungs (e–h) were detected in Western blotting assays. β-actin was used as the control. Corresponding bands were scanned, and the optical density of the BAX or cleaved-caspase 3 bands were normalized by that of the β-actin band. The results are representative of three independent experiments with five to seven mice in each group per experiment, with data denoting means ± SDs. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
