Localization of MCSP in the interfollicular epidermis. Immunofluorescence microscopy showing patterns of expression of MCSP, phalloidin, and K15. (a) Significant MCSP (green) and α5 integrin (red) colocalization (yellow) was noted in the interfollicular epidermis. (b) A strong correlation between α5 integrin and MCSP was seen suggesting that cells expressing MCSP in the basal epidermis are located in close proximity to the attachments sites of the APM. Scale bar: 100 μm.
