  		Fig. 1. Typical immunohistochemical staining in gill epithelia. (A) Macrophthalmus abbreviatus; red deposits represent a cytoplasmic HA distribution. (B) Macrophthalmus abbreviatus; negative control. (C) Eriocheir sinensis; red deposits represent an apical HA distribution. (D) Eriocheir sinensis; negative control. A, apical region. C, cytoplasm. cu, cuticle. n, nucleus. p, pillar cell. se, septum. Bars, 20 µm.
