1. Immunocytochemical results.
Immunocytochemical results. (A,B) Brachial nerve. Cell bodies (horizontal arrow) and lines of granules (vertical arrow) are immunolabelled. Scale bar, 25 μm. (C,D) Aboral diarthrial ligament. This consists of parallel collagen fibres (co) and cell processes represented by numerous heavily stained granules (jp). Immunoreactivity is shown by cell bodies (horizontal arrow) and granules (vertical arrows). Scale bar, 10 μm. (E,F) Syzygial ligament (sl) close to brachial nerve (n). Immunoreactivity is visible in cellular structures associated with the syzygial nerves (sn), which branch from the brachial nerve and pass through the brachial ossicles (b) close to each insertion region of the ligament. co, collagen fibres. Scale bar, 10 μm. (G) More-magnified view of part of the section shown in (F). The process of an immunoreactive cell (vertical arrow) approaches the syzygial ligament (sl), and fine immunoreactive granules are present within the ligament (horizontal arrows). Structures in and near the syzygial nerve are also immunostained (oblique arrows). Scale bar, 10 μm.
