Figure 5. B cells, T cells, and eosinophils are dispensable for adrenalectomy-induced SPEM.

Stomach sections from the gastric corpus lesser curvature of Rag1-KO mice (A–C) or Gata1 mutant mice (D–F) euthanized 2 months after sham surgery or adrenalectomy. Sections were probed for (A and D) ATP4B (parietal cells, red), GSII lectin (mucous neck cells, pink), and MIST1 (chief cells, green), (B and E) the SPEM marker CD44v9 (green) and GSII, or (C and F) CD45 (leukocytes, green). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 100 μm; n = 6 mice/group.
