Figure 2

Tenascin-C expression in wildtype mice. A. The relative mRNA expression of tenascin-C in the lung of ovalbumin-challenged and control mice. B-C. Immunofluoresence. The immunoreactivity of tenascin-C in the lungs of control (B) and ovalbumin-challenged mice (C). The lung parenchyma was stained brightly with tenascin-C in the ovalbumin-challenged mice, but not in the control mice. All the mice showed sparse and faint immunoreactivity to tenascin-C in the veins and bronchial smooth muscle. The bronchial basement membrane tested negative for tenascin-C in both groups. RU = relative expression unit. Results are expressed mean ± SEM. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. n = 8 mice/group.
