Figure 2.
Immunohistochemical localization of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) in different tissues of control (A,C,E) and transported animals (B,D,F). All sections are counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. No notable variations in immunoreactivity were evident when comparing control and transported animals (refer also to Table 2). (A,B) Hepatopancreas: marked HSP70 immunostaining is evident in the parenchyma within the cytoplasm of hepatocytes (arrowheads) and in the acini (glands) (asterisks). (C,D) Stomach: marked immunopositivity is observed in the gastric glands (asterisks), and it is less pronounced in the pits (arrowheads) and epithelium lining the gastric mucosa (arrows). (E,F) Intestine: marked HSP70 immunoreactivity is detected in the cytoplasm of enterocytes and in the rodlet cells (arrowheads). Scale bar (A–E): 200 µm; scale bar (F): 100 µm.
