Localization of CXCL11 expression in developing and adult limb muscles. Sections were obtained from the quadriceps muscle of E18 a, b and adult rats c, d and double-labelled with antibodies against CXCL11 (red) and MyHC (green). Cell nuclei were visualized with DAPI. At each developmental stage, first row a, c and second row b, d show low and high magnification, respectively. a″d″ Merging of immunocytochemical stainings and DAPI. In E18 muscles, CXCL11-immunolabelling was associated with many muscle fibres (arrows in a″). Higher magnification b″ confirmed the predominant intracellular localization of CXCL11 at this developmental stage. In adult muscles, CXCL11 expression was confined to cells within the endomysium/perimysium (arrow heads in d). Scale bars, a and c, 100 µm; b and d, 25 µm
