An Investigation on the Therapeutic Effect of Thymosin 4 and Its Expression Levels in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice

Figure 4

Comparison of Tβ4 protein levels in the tissues of diabetic and control mice. The difference in Tβ4 expression level and the degree of tissue damage between the two groups was compared using (a) H&E staining (×100) and (b) immunohistochemistry (×200) (scale bar, 100 μm). The spleen had a higher expression level than the other tissues comparable with the difference in transcription levels. There were no significant differences between the two groups in Tβ4 protein expression level or degree of tissue damage.
