Fig.1.
PDA contains an abundant stroma. A Mouse PDA tissue was stained with Picrosirius Red and imaged under polarized light to visualize collagen fibres (20x magnification). B Masson’s Trichrome staining highlights connective tissue distribution in an example of mouse PDA. Collagen fibres are staining in blue with the cytoplasm appearing in red (40x magnification). C Immunohistochemistry for SPARC on murine PDA (α-SPARC polyclonal antibody, Protein tech catalogue number: 15274-1-AP, 10x magnification). D Histochemical staining of hyaluronan (biotinylated hyaluronan binding protein, Calbiochem 385911, 10x magnification) reveals pan-stromal deposition in murine PDA.
