Fig. 8. Light microscopic immunohistochemistry using the anti-Papilio RBP
in the retina of Peris rapae. (A) Transverse section of distal region
of the retina. Both primary pigment cells (small arrowheads) and secondary
pigment cells (arrowheads) were labeled. Photoreceptors (white arrowhead) were
not labeled. Non-immune serum gave no labeling (inset). (B) Transverse section
of the proximal region of the retina. The secondary pigment cells (black
arrowheads) were labeled, but the photoreceptors were not (white arrowheads).
(C) Longitudinal section around the basement membrane (BM). The tracheal cells
(white arrowheads) were strongly labeled. Scale bars, 30 µm.
