Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative immunohistochemical staining patterns of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections (MMP12: magnification 400×, bar: 50 μm, SPP1: magnification 200×, bar: 100μm). The upper row is immunoreactivity of MMP12, and the lower row is immunoreactivity of SPP1. From left column to right column, IgG4-ROD, MALT lymphoma, RLH, and the lacrimal gland tissue section are shown. Many MMP12 positive cells are observable in the fibrotic areas and follicular areas of IgG4-ROD tissues. SPP1 is intensely stained in the fibrotic part of IgG4-ROD. IgG4-ROD: Immunoglobulin G4 related ophthalmic disease, MALT: Mucosa-associated lymph tissue, RLH: Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, MMP12: Matrix metallopeptidase 12, SPP1: Secreted phosphoprotein 1.
Article Snippet: Immunostaining by mouse anti-human MMP12 (1:50, MAB919, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and rabbit anti-human SPP1 (1:1000, HPA027541, Atlas Antibodies, Bromma, Sweden) was performed using paraffin-embedded biopsy tissues.
