Pixel Intensity of αvβ3- and αvβ5-specific Immune Fluorescence
Cell type | Ductal | Insulin | Glucagon | Epithelialundifferentiated | Stromal |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
αvβ3 | 173.9 ± 25.1 | 93.1 ± 20.5 | 140.2 ± 25.4 | 170.5 ± 29.3 | 29.6 ± 11.3 |
αvβ5 | 205.7 ± 33.7 | 95.3 ± 18.2 | 100.1 ± 22.9 | 202.6 ± 24.4 | 32.1 ± 9.6 |
The pixel intensity of αvβ3- and αvβ5-specific immunofluorescence was recorded in 250 domains of cell–cell and/or cell–matrix contact for each cell type. No. of donors, 3 (fetal pancreata at gestational age 18, 19, and 20 wk). No. of fields scored in each fetal pancreas, 47.
