Figure 2. The SPARC family of proteins are widely expressed in the pancreas.

ICR mouse pancreas sections were probed with antibodies to: Hevin (a), SPOCK-1 (b), and SPOCK-2 (c), followed by ABC-DAB staining (brown) and counterstained with haematoxylin (blue). Images are representative of 3–5 islets and ducts per section acquired using a 20X objective. Scale bar 100 μm. n = 2–3 independent experiments from 3 different mouse pancreas. See main text for explanation of arrows.
