Fig. 8. Reactivity of CD151 with antibody TS151R is cell type specific. Cryostat
sections of human kidney, skin and heart muscle were processed for double
immunofluorescence confocal microscopy using TS151R (A,G,J) and P48 (D)
against CD151, GoH3 against
6 (E), 439-9B against ß4 (H) and
polyclonal antibodies against
3 (B) or
7 (K). The composite
images (C,F,I,L) were generated by superimposition of the green and red
signals, with areas of overlap appearing as yellow. TS151R against CD151
reacts with CD151 in tubular epithelial cells but hardly reacts in glomerular
cells (A-C), keratinocytes (G-I) and cardiomyocytes (J-L). P48 against CD151
is used in the skin for comparison and shows a prominent staining especially
at the dermo-epidermal junction (D-F). Bar, 10 µm.
