Fig. 8. Effects of chlorate and BzlGalNAc on immunolocalization of Muclin and
amylase after in vitro zymogen granule repletion. Pancreatic lobules were
prepared from zymogen-granule-depleted mice and incubated in vitro for 4 hours
in buffer supplemented with (A) 30 mM NaCl, (B) 30 mM chlorate, (C) 2% DMSO or
(D) 32 mM BzlGalNAc. Cryosections were prepared and dual immunostained for
Muclin (green) and amylase (red) and for DNA with DAPI (blue). Note larger
Muclin- and amylase-positive structures in chlorate-treated tissue (arrows in
B) compared with controls; and dramatic dissociation of Muclin (arrows in D)
and amylase (arrowheads in D) in BzlGalNAc-treated tissue.
