SLC is expressed on the lumen of PP-HEVs in normal, but not DDD/1 mice. Confocal micrographs of whole PPs from normal (left and right panels) or DDD/1 (middle panel) mice depicting localization of green anti-SLC (left and middle panels), and lack of green staining with a negative control hamster antibody (right panel); and MAdCAM-1+ HEVs as red fluorescence (all three panels). mAbs to SLC (anti–TCA-4, 4B1E7C10 [reference 17]) and MAdCAM-1 (MECA 89), or control antibodies to DNP (UC8-19B) and human CD44 (Hermes-1) (not shown) were conjugated to Alexa™ 488 or Alexa™ 546, respectively. 50–75 μg of anti-SLC or anti-DNP, and/or 10–20 μg anti–MAdCAM-1 or anti-huCD44 was injected via carotid artery cannulation in a single bolus. Staining was evident for both SLC and MAdCAM-1 by 1 min, maximal for MAdCAM-1 by 10 min and for SLC by 15 min. Animals were killed, and whole PPs were immediately removed for examination by confocal microscopy. Representative images (10× objective).
