Altered molecular pattern of mucosal healing in Crohn’s disease fibrotic stenosis

Figure 2 Immunohistochemical staining of syndecan 1 in the lamina propria in controls (A) and Crohn’s disease (B) stenotic complication. In normal tissue staining is confined to basolateral area of the crypts (arrow). In Crohn’s disease, positive stromal cells and apical epithelium are observed stained brown (diaminobenzidine). Negative cells are counterstained blue (haematoxylin) (× 400).
