Galectins expression in normal ovarian and fallopian tube tissues. IF staining of gal-1, -3, -4, -7 -8 and -9 (Red) in normal (A) ovarian and (B) fallopian tube tissues. The characteristic cytosolic staining of cytokeratin staining (white) and DAPI were used to identify epithelial cells and nucleus, respectively. Cytokeratin negative tissue was considered as stroma. The merged images were used to determine localization of each galectins in both epithelial and stromal compartments. Bar represent 50 µm.
