Immunofluorescence analysis of islet apoptosis induction in mercuric compounds-exposed mice. Mice were gavaged with 2 mg/kg/day MeHgCl or 5 mg/kg/day HgCl₂ for 2 consecutive weeks, and dual immunofluorescence staining of islet using anti-insulin (red) and TUNEL (green) was performed as described in the Materials and Methods section (400×).
