Clinical Study
Immunohistochemical Localization of the Bradykinin B1 and B2 Receptors in Human Nasal Mucosa
Figure 2
Immunohistochemical staining for bradykinin B2 receptor in
human allergic (a), (c), (e) and nonallergic (b), (d), (f) nasal mucosa. Inferior turbinates were stained with
antihuman B2 receptor antibody (a)–(d) or normal rabbit immunoglobulin (e), (f).
Immunoreactivity for B2 receptor was significantly detected in submucosal
glands (), epithelial cells (c), vascular smooth muscle (c), (d), nerve bundle, and
fibroblasts (d). ep: epithelial cells; v: blood vessels; g: submucosal glands;
n: nerves. Scale bar = 100 m.
