Fig 9. Representative images of hResistin expression in the endocrine system.

Human pancreas tissues stained with 5 μg/mL anti-hResistin antibody (upper panels) or control IgG1 (lower panels). Left: positive staining for hResistin was located in cytoplasmic granules of very rare macrophages scattered in interstitium, and in extracellular interstitium/stroma. Right: hResistin staining was also observed in cytoplasm of occasional cells/processes associated with peripheral nerves in some areas of pancreatic tissue. These regions did not exhibit staining by control human IgG1. Magnification: 400×.
