 Fas expression in the epithelium of jejunal mucosa from a coeliac patient cultured in vitro with medium only (A) or with peptic-tryptic (PT)-gliadin (B). In (B), intense staining for Fas is detected in almost all epithelial cells. Expression is particularly evident in the basolateral membrane of the enterocytes. A similar pattern was observed culturing the mucosa with PT-gliadin in combination with human recombinant interleukin10 (data not shown). Original magnification 100×.
