IL-1F6 protein and Il1f6 mRNA expressions in whole organs of mice. (a) Real-time PCR analysis for Il1f6 mRNA expressions in the kidney of a 4-month-old female C57BL/6 mouse (upper lane) and B6.MRLc1 mouse (lower lane). Size markers are represented on the left. (b–e) IHC staining for IL-1F6 in the skin (b), esophagus (c), thymus (d), and uterus (e) of a 4-month-old female MRL/lpr mouse. IL-1F6-positive reactions were observed in the epithelia, which showed squamous morphology (b–d) or the possibility of deciduous morphology (b–e). Bar=20 μm.
