Merkel Cells as Putative Regulatory Cells in Skin Disorders: An In Vitro Study
Figure 6
Merkel cells produced VIP in culture.
In our culture conditions, MCs produced the neuropeptide VIP as demonstrated by double immunofluorescence using antibodies against CK20 (red) and VIP (green). The production of VIP was confirmed by western blot analysis (WB). (Scale bar, 50 µm).
