Figure 3. Matriptase activation in the basal layer of epidermis.

Figure 3

Frozen sections of human skin from 55 specimens were immunostained with mAb M32 for total matriptase (a and d, Total MTP) or mAb M69 for activated matriptase (b and e, Activated MTP). Higher magnification for the micrographs b and e are presented as c and f, respectively. Nuclei were counterstained blue with hematoxylin. A negative control using Mouse IgG was also performed (not shown). The table shows the numbers and percentages of skin specimens with positive and negative activated matriptase. Scale bar: 25 μm.
