Immunostaining and quantification of CD68⁺ and CD206⁺ macrophages in the residual liver. CD68⁺ cells (green) in the intact liver (a) and in the residual liver on day 3 after the surgery (b). The diagram shows dynamic changes in the CD68⁺ cell content in the course of regeneration, index of CD68⁺ content (InCD68) (c). Relative quantities of CD206⁺ cells (green) in the intact liver (d) and in the residual liver on day 3 after the surgery (e). The diagram shows dynamic changes in the CD206⁺ cell content in the course of regeneration, index of CD206⁺ content (InCD206) (f). The data are represented as mean values ± SD with the asterisks indicating statistical significance of the differences (as compared with the control; p˂0.05). Bars, 50 μm; cell nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue)
