Fig. 5From: Knockout of interleukin-17A protects against sepsis-associated acute kidney injuryInfiltration of neutrophils in the kidneys of the four groups. Histological sections of kidneys were subjected to immunofluorescence staining, and the number of positive cells was counted in five high-powered fields per section (original magnification ×400). Values represent mean ± 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
