Expression of tetraspanins in murine and human MCs. a Tetraspanin expression in different murine MC subsets. Gene expression was analyzed in following MC populations-tongue MCs (MC-To), esophagus MCs (MC-Es), trachea MCs (MC-Tr), peritoneal MCs (MC-PC), and skin MCs (MC-Sk) [45]. The heat map was generated with data from http://www.immgen.org/ choosing MCs as the cells of interest and using r gplot heatmap2. The gene expression level was determined by Affymetrix microarrays (GEO: GSE377448). Tetraspanins involved in the regulation of MC function are outlined. b Expression of tetraspanin genes in ex vivo human skin MCs isolated from three different donors. Expression data were generated by cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) technology within the FANTOM5 project and published as Supplemental Table 3 in [61]. Plotting the extracted tetraspanin gene expression data was performed with r gplot heatmap2.  Tetraspanins identified by skin MC proteome analysis [62] are outlined
