Figure 3: Histochemical analysis of fundic region. 3A: PAS- positive apical part of surface simple columnar epithelium (arrow). (PAS). 3B: the fundic region showing alcian blue negative and PAS positive fundic glands (arrow). (Combined AB and PAS). 3C: the superficial lining epithelium (white arrowhead) as well as the glandular cells (black arrowheads) showed positive reactivity for acid phosphatase. (Gomori Lead Nitrate method). 3D: The mucosa of the fundic region showing positive reaction of enteroendocrine cells on the surface epithelium (arrow) and fundic glands. (Grimelius). |
