Dual immunofluorescence staining for CARMIL2 protein and CK18 on sigmoid FFPE sections of healthy control, IBD control, and three biallelic CARMIL2 variant carriers diagnosed with IBD. DAPI counterstaining was used to visualize nuclei. (A) Composite image, where green staining indicates CARMIL2, red represents cytokeratin 18 (CK18), a marker for single layer epithelial cells, and blue marks nuclear DAPI stain. In Patient 1 and Patient 3, carriers of the two protein-truncating variants (respectively p.C155VfsTer54 and p.E978*), CARMIL2 signal was almost absent in sigmoid sections. In Patient 4, carrier of missense variant p.D623E, immunofluorescence staining was weaker than the controls particularly in the mucosal layer. (B) Single-label immunofluorescence for CK18 (red). (C) Single-label immunofluorescence for CARMIL2 (green).
