From: The mannose receptor is expressed by subsets of APC in non-lymphoid organs

Figure 2

Mannose receptor positive APC in secretory organs co-express macrosialin and MHC class II. Secretory organ sections were probed for MR and either macrosialin (FA.11) or MHC class II as indicated. They are shown separately and as merged images that include a nuclear counterstain in blue. In merged images of MR and FA.11 labelling, there are many yellow cells, indicating colocalisation of these markers. In merged images of MR and MHC class II labelling, there are fewer yellow cells, because the fluorescence intensities of the two labels are usually very different in individual cells. However, visual comparison of singly labelled images indicates that many cells do express both markers. Examples in each tissue are indicated with arrows. The scale bar is indicated in the first panel only and is 100 μm.
