Localization of EC cells in the small intestine of mice.
(A–D) Sections of paraffin-embedded small intestine tissue from uninfected BALB/c mice were processed for immunohistochemistry with rabbit anti-chromogranin A and peroxidase-labelled goat-anti rabbit. The EC cells were identified in all segments of the small intestine. (A) Ileum, (B–D) duodenum. Stars indicate chromogranin A containing-EC cells.
