Hemoglobin Expression in Nonerythroid Cells: Novel or Ubiquitous?

Figure 1

Immunohistochemical localization of RVFHbαP in rabbit vaginal tissue. RVFHbαP localized in glandular epithelium. Upper panel shows RVFHbαP localization and lower panel shows Hb localization. (a1) Negative control, (b1) anti-RVFHbαP antibody treated, and (c1) specificity control (10 μg RVFHbαP + anti-RVFHbαP antibody). (a2) Negative control, (b2) anti-Hb antibody staining, and (c2) specificity control (10 μg Hb + anti-Hb antibody). Each figure is the representative from three different experiments performed on three different days (magnification ×40; arrow indicates expression of RVFHbαP); Institute Animal Ethics Committee number (IAEC no. 1/2007).
