In this study, we investigated the expression and localization pattern of ABCB11 and ABCB4 using immunohistochemistry and RNA profiling in liver samples from patients with different types and stages of chronic cholestatic liver disease, with emphasis on primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), compared to a variety of cholestatic and noncholestatic hepatopathies. The gene discussed is ABCB11; the disease is sclerosing cholangitis.
