Figure 4. Cellular populations of the innate immune system in the normal fallopian tube.

Figure 4

Sections are from FFPE normal fallopian tube (A–H) and stained for CD11c (A), CD68 (B) and CD163 (C). D–E illustrate CD163(blue)/CD11c(brown) double immunostaining showing the presence respectively of CD11c+CD163− cells in the intraepithelial compartment (D; insert showing intraepithelial cytoplasmic projections of dendritic cells) and of CD11c+CD163+ cells admixed to CD11c−CD163+ cells in the lamina propria (E); F illustrates CD207/Langerin+ intraepithelial Langerhans cell; G illustrates occasional CD303/BDCA2+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells in vessels of the lamina propria; H illustrates intraepithelial CD56+ NK cells. Sections are counterstained with Meyer’s haematoxylin. Magnification: 40× (A–C and E–H) and 20× (D).
