Fig 3. Immunohistochemistry analysis of SALSA in placenta.

Fig 3

Paraffin-embedded placental tissue from healthy and pre-eclamptic (PE) pregnancies were stained for SALSA. Both healthy (A) and (B) and PE (C) and (D) sections are displayed with corresponding negative IgG-controls (Neg). Based on the morphology and location of the positively staining structures, SALSA primarily stains fibrin-type fibrinoids. (A) and (D) show staining of specific focal fibrinoid formations in apparently necrotic villous structures. Panel B shows an example of fibrinoid “gluing” of villi. (D) shows a larger necrotic area with massive fibrinoid formation. 200× magnifications.
