Expression patterns of mucin 5AC (MUC5AC). Immunofluorescence of MUC5AC in native nasal (A1), corneal (B1), conjunctival (C1), and oral (D1) mucosal epithelium. Immunofluorescence of MUC5AC in the cultured nasal (A2, A3), corneal (B2, B3), conjunctival (C2, C3), and oral (D2, D3) epithelial cell sheets. Scale bars = 100 μm. (E): The protein levels of MUC5AC in the cultured epithelial sheets were examined by ELISA. Mean ± SEM. ∗, p < .02; n = 8. Abbreviations: ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; HCS, human corneal epithelial sheet; HCJS, human conjunctival epithelial sheet; HNS, human nasal mucosal epithelial sheet; HOS, human oral mucosal epithelial sheet; PI, propidium iodide.
