Figure 5. Immunohistochemical detection of thymosin β4 in foetal and adult ileum.

Figure 5

a) Foetal ileum: a granular reactivity for Tβ4 is present in the epithelium covering ileal villi (arrow). A reactivity for the peptide is also observed in the mucous occupying the intestinal lumen (arrowhead). (Original Magnification ×400) b) Adult ileum: a mild reactivity for Tβ4 is present in the cytoplasm of enterocytes covering villi (arrows). (Original Magnification ×250)
