Expression of CCR5 and ERTR7 in multilocular mesenchymal cells in the aged thymus. Upper panels show histological sections of 21 month-old thymus containing CCR5-positive cells, by immunoperoxidase. Counterstaining was done with hematoxylin. Upper small panels on the right show CCR5+ multilocular cells inside the thymic parenchyma interacting with thymocytes and stromal cells. Lower panels show multilocular cells stained for ERTR7 (red) and the nuclei dye DAPI (blue), by immunofluorescence. Black arrows indicate CCR5+ multilocular cells. White arrows indicate ERTR7+ multilocular cells. A, adipocyte; C, cortex; S, septae. Original magnification: Upper panels, 1000x; lower panels, 630x.
