Figure

Detection of α-2,3 and α-2,6 receptors in tissues from the respiratory system of coatis (Nasua nasua), Brazil. A–C) Arrows indicate labeling of the α-2,3 receptor in the ciliated epithelium for the lectin Maackia amurensis II of the nasal concha (A), lung (bronchiole) tissue (B), and trachea (C). Scale bars = 100 µm in panel A, 50 µm in panel B, and 20 µm in panel C. D–F) Arrows indicate labeling of the α-2,6 receptor in the endothelium for Sambucus nigra lectin in the arteriole (D), rostral concha (E), and lung (bronchiole) (F). Scale bars = 20 µm in panels D and E, 50 µm in panel F. Tissue was counterstained with hematoxylin and revealed with diaminobenzidine chromogen.
