Representative micrographs of FXR immunostaining of CDCA-treated primary cultured AECIIs. Rabbit polyclonal anti-FXR antibody demonstrated the presence of FXR in nuclei of AECIIs. And the fluorescence intensity on AECIIs treated with GS was much lower than that without GS. Magnification bar: 50 μm.
