Figure Lengend Snippet: Examples of ERRα immunostaining showing similar cytoplasmic and nuclear staining in vulvar vestibulum from LPV patients (a1) and healthy controls (a2) . Examples of ERRß immunostaining showing more intense cytoplasmic and nuclear staining in vulvar vestibulum samples from patients with LPV (b1) compared to samples from healthy controls (b2) . Examples of ERRγ immunostaining demonstrating similar nuclear staining in vulvar vestibulum from LPV patients (c1) and healthy controls (c2) . Examples of ER immunostaining showing similar expression pattern between samples from LPV patients (d1) and healthy controls (d2) . Examples of PR immunostaining in vulvar vestibulum samples from LPV patients (e1) and healthy controls (e2) . Examples of CD3 immunostaining identifying both CD4- and CD8-positive T cells in vulvar vestibulum samples from patients with LPV (f1) and healthy controls (f2) . All the histologic sections were visualized with the 10/20 × objective using an Olympus BX-51 light microscope (Tokyo, Japan). ER, estrogen receptor; ERR, estrogen-related receptor; PR, progesterone receptor.
Article Snippet: For CD3 staining, we used anti-CD3e rabbit monoclonal antibody detecting both CD4- and CD8-positive T cells (clone BSR10) at a dilution of 1:200 (Nordic BioSite Ab, Täby, Sweden).
