Immunohistochemical analysis of Notch4 and Ptgr1 in sMCs and mMCs in stomach tissue. (a) Stomach submucosa (sMCs; left panels), stomach mucosa (mMCs; middle panels) and skin (skin MCs; right panels) sections were stained with an anti-Notch4 antibody (lower panels) and with toluidine blue (upper panels). sMCs stained with the anti-Notch4 antibody in the gastric submucosa and skin dermis are indicated by arrows. No staining was observed in mMCs (arrowheads) localized in the gastric mucosa. sMCs and mMCs were metachromatically stained with toluidine blue. (b) Stomach submucosa (sMCs; left panels) and stomach mucosa (mMCs; right panels) sections were stained with an anti-Ptgr1 antibody (lower panels) and with toluidine blue (upper panels). No staining with the anti-Ptgr1 antibody was found in the sMCs (arrow). Small signals were observed in the mMCs (arrowheads). sMCs and mMCs were metachromatically stained with toluidine blue. Bars, 25 μm (a, b).
