Fig. 2 — (A and C) PDGFRα/CD34 double labelling; (B and D–F) PDGFRα-immunoreactivity. (A and C–F) Immunofluorescence; (B) Immunohistochemistry, haematoxylin counterstain. PDGFRα-positive cells at the submucosal borders of the muscularis mucosae (A, stomach) and circular muscle layer (B and C, stomach). PDGFRα-positive cells also show CD34-immunoreactivity (A and C). (D) Circular muscle layer (oesophagus). PDGFRα-positive cells border the smooth muscle bundles (arrows). (E) Myenteric plexus region (small intestine). PDGFRα-positive cells surround the ganglia. (F) Submucosa (small intestine). PDGFRα-positive cells encircle large blood vessels (asterisks). BV: blood vessel; CM: circular muscle layer; LM: longitudinal muscle layer; mb: muscle bundles; mm: muscularis mucosae; MP: ganglia at the myenteric plexus; SM: submucosa. Scale bars are indicated in each panel.
