CD44v is highly expressed in pancreatic islets of diabetic mice. (A) Immunohistochemical staining of CD44 (panCD44) and CD44v in the stomach, intestine, pancreas, liver, lung, and adipose tissue of adult C57BL/6 mice. Scale bars, 50 µm. (B) Immunohistochemical staining of panCD44 and CD44v in pancreatic islets of adult db/db, ob/ob, and Akita diabetic mice and the corresponding WT animals. Scale bars, 50 µm. (C) Immunohistofluorescence staining of CD44v and insulin in pancreatic islets of adult db/db, ob/ob, and Akita diabetic mice and the corresponding WT animals. The fluorescence (blue) of nuclei counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) is shown in the merged images. Scale bars, 40 µm.
