Erythropoietin -induced proliferation of gastric mucosal cells

Figure 1 Expression of pepsin, MUC5AC and proton-pump in cultured gastric epithelial cells observed by double immunolabelling. A confocal microscopic image demonstrates the FITC-positive anti-pepsin-positive cells (A) and Texas Red-positive anti-MUC5AC-positive cells (B) in the same area. The anti-pepsin-positive cells, which co-express MUC5AC, are indicated yellow (C). A confocal microscopic image also demonstrates the FITC-positive anti-pepsin-positive cells (D) and Texas Red-positive anti-proton pump-positive cells (E) in the same area. The anti-pepsin-positive cells which co-express proton pump are indicated yellow (F).Scale bars indicate 100 μm.
