Figure 2 Interstitial cells of Cajal (arrows) in the ileum stained with CD117 (magnification 40 ×). A: Control rat; B: Rat exposed to Campylobacter that did not develop small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), demonstrating persistent CD117 staining of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) cells; C: Rat exposed to Campylobacter that developed SIBO, demonstrating a reduction in CD117 staining of ICC cells. In this case, the staining is slight and the arrow indicates a “possible” stained cell.
