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

<div>Localization of α6 integrin in the interfollicular epidermis and follicle. Immunofluorescence microscopy showing patterns of expression of α5 integrin, α6 integrin, and phalloidin. (a) α6 integrin (red) demonstrates a homogeneous expression in the basal epidermis. (b) Triple immunofluorescence staining for α6 integrin (red), α5 integrin (green), and phalloidin (blue) showing overlap of α6 integrin and α5 integrin expressing cells at the distal tips of the APM. (c-d) Due to the homogenous expression pattern of α6 integrin it was deemed not to be a suitable marker for IFE stem cells. Scale bar: 100 μm.</div>
