Role of the advanced glycation end products receptor in Crohn’s disease inflammation

Figure 5 Type of receptor for the advanced glycation end products (+) immune cells. Representative seriate sections of Crohn’s disease lamina propria with heavy inflammatory infiltrate, in which the correspondence between the positivity for both CD138 (panel A) indicating the plasma cells, and CD68 (panel B) showing the macrophages, with receptor for the advanced glycation end products (+) cells given (Immunoperoxidase-hematoxylin; original magnification, × 200). The same cellular elements indicated by the black arrows are shown in the boxes at higher magnification (Immunoperoxidase-hematoxylin; original magnification, × 400). RAGE: Receptor for the advanced glycation end products.
