4E-BP1 immunohistochemistry in the rat submandibular gland. Anti-4E-BP1 antibodies were used to localize 4E-BP1 proteins using wax-embedded sections. (a) Unoperated control gland: immunostaining appeared strongly in acinar cells (arrows; also see inset). No staining was seen in ductal structures (arrow head). (b) 5-day ligated. (c) 7-day ligated. Immunostaining of remaining acinar cells tends to be localized mostly to the edges of lobular structures (arrows). (d) 2-week ligated: some acini at the edge of the lobule still showed low levels of immunoreactivity
