Immunohistochemical type I and III collagen staining of abdominal aortic aneurysm (A, B, andC), atherosclerotic abdominal aorta (D, E, and F), and healthy abdominal aorta (G, H, and I). A, D, and G, Staining of type I pN-collagen; B, E, and H, staining of type III pN-collagen; andC, F, and I, staining of cross-linked type III collagen (original magnification, 10×; hematoxylincounterstain). The brown color in G and H is blood, not collagen staining.
