Fig. 3From: Knockout of interleukin-17A protects against sepsis-associated acute kidney injuryRenal histology changes in the four groups. a Sections were subjected to Periodic acid/Schiff staining to assess kidney morphology. b Semi-quantitation of the morphological changes using a histological grading system. The data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). # P < 0.05 compared with the sham group. *P < 0.05 compared with the wild-type CLP group. Wild-type sham group n = 20, IL-17A−/− sham group n = 20, wild-type CLP group n = 12, and IL-17A−/− septic group n = 15Back to article page
