(b) Optically cleared intestinal tissues. ((c) and (d)) The permeabilized donor (c) and recipient (d) intestinal tissues were stained with PGP9.5 prior to FocusClear treatment. ((e) and (f)) PGP9.5 immunohistochemical studies of the intestinal tissues ((e), donor; (f), recipient, 100x). CM: circular muscle layer; MP: myenteric plexus; LM: longitudinal muscle layer.
