Fig. 5.

Limited expression of moesin in mucous neck cells. Gastric glands were costained with the anti-moesin antibody and the Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated GSII lectin (from Griffonia simplicifolia) to study the possible distribution of moesin in mucous neck cells in the gastric glands. An Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated secondary antibody was used for moesin staining. Images were collected with a confocal microscope. Top 2 rows show the distinct distributions of GSII signals (mainly staining the neck) and moesin signals (mainly staining the body). Bottom 2 rows show the transitioning area of the gastric glands with overlapping distribution of both GSII signals and moesin signals. Bar = 50 μm.
