Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Existing in Direct Proximity with the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle

<div>(a) Triple immunofluorescence staining for K15 (red), <i>α</i>5 integrin (green), and phalloidin (blue) showing K15 and phalloidin expressing cells in the basal epidermis at the distal tip of the arrector pili muscle (blue). Marked overlap (yellow) of K15 (red) and <i>α</i>5 integrin (green) expressing cells in the basal epidermis. (b) Magnified view of the proximal attachment of the APM to the follicle. Expression of K15 and <i>α</i>5 integrin at the bulge is evident. (c-d) Strong correlation between K15 and phalloidin and also K15 and <i>α</i>5 integrin expressing cells in the epidermis. Scale bar: 100 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
