ICC and FLC in BALB/c and Wsh/Wsh mice.
ICC and FLC were detected to have TMEM16A (green) and PDGFRα (red) immunoreactivities, respectively. In the stomach (A, B), small intestine (C, D), and proximal colon (E, F), ICC were observed only as restricted subtypes in Wsh/Wsh mice (B, D, F), whereas FLC were observed as being similar to that in BALB/c mice (A, C, E). ICC-DMP (arrowheads), ICC-SM (double arrowheads), and ICC-MY (arrows) were observed in Wsh/Wsh mice tissues. c and l represent circular and longitudinal muscle layers, respectively. Asterisks show myenteric layer. Bar: 50 μm.
