Figure 3. — Immunohistochemical staining of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) epiretinal fibrovascular membranes. Immunohistochemical staining for CD146 showing immunoreactivity in vascular endothelial cells in a membrane from a patient with active PDR (A) and in a membrane from a patient with involuted PDR (arrows) (B). Immunoreactivity for CD146 was also detected in stromal spindle-shaped myofibroblasts (arrows) (C). Double immunohistochemical staining for CD45 (brown) and CD146 (red) demonstrating stromal cells co-expressing CD45 and CD146. No counterstain to visualize the cell nuclei was applied (arrows) (D, E) (scale bar, 10 µm).
