Indirect Immunohistochemistry of buffalo tissue sections using Anti-SySmoc-1-pAb. Distribution of Smoc-1 in basement membrane zone of endothelial cell layer and extracellular matrices of liver (A) and specific expression around basement membrane zone of the tubuli seminiferi in the testis (B). Note the localization of Smoc-1 protein in the basement membrane zones indicated by red arrows. The bars represent 5 μm in panels A-B. Hp denotes hepatocytes; Si, sinusoids; CV, central vein and Em, discontinuous endothelial cell of central vein in 'A', and ST, seminiferous tubules; BM, basement membrane zone; Sg, Spermatogonia and IT, interstitial tissues in 'B'.
