Figure 3From: Dynamic changes in cell-surface expression of mannose in the oral epithelium during the development of graft-versus-host disease of the oral mucosa in rats Immunohistochemical detection of mannosyltransferase complex in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-affected oral mucosa. ALG11, antibody (Ab) of mannosyltransferase complex, is weakly and faintly reactive in basal and parabasal epithelial cells of control tongues (a). In contrast, staining with ALG11 extends to keratinocytes (KCs) in the spinous layers of tongues from GVHD rats (b). Bar = 100 μm.Back to article page
