Figure 4.
Photomicrographs of the cryosections of the synovial membrane of a horse metacarpophalangeal joint showing cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) (B) and IBA1 (C) immunoreactivity. The white arrows indicate the DAPI (Blue) labeled nuclei (A) of some round macrophage-like synoviocytes lining the joint cavity which co-expressed IBA1 (Red) and bright CB2 (Green) receptor immunoreactivity. The open arrows indicate two cells expressing CB2 receptor immunoreactivity (likely fibroblast-like synoviocytes) which were IBA1 negative. (D) Merged image (Orange). Scale bar = 50 μm.
