Fig. 9. Immunohistochemical staining of smooth and striated muscle tissue with P48 and TS151R against CD151. Cryostat sections of human smooth (A,C) and striated muscle (B,D) were stained by immunoperoxidase reaction with P48 (A,C) or TS151R (B,D). Both types of muscle cells were strongly stained by P48. Intense staining of CD151 by TS151R was only seen in smooth muscle cells, no staining is found in skeletal muscle. n, nerve; v, vessel. Bar, 10 µm.
