Immunohistochemistry on rat lung sections and DRG (positive control). The mAb 306 directed against the α7 subunit fails to label AM (arrow) but it stains nerve cell bodies (arrows) in DRG sections serving as a positive control. Arrowheads: Elastin autofluorescence in alveolus. The antibodies to α9 and α10 subunits label ED1-positive AM in alveoli. The insert demonstrates punctate α9 subunit immunoreactivity in a CLSM optical section. AS = alveolar septum. Bar: 20 μm.
