Figure 3

Expression of tachykinin mRNA in affected muscle tissue as seen via in situ hybridization. Serial sections of a gastrocnemius muscle specimen from the 1w group, exercised side, showing parts of the specimen in low magnification (A) (H&E). The framed region in (A) corresponds to the regions shown in (B, C). Note the presence of a marked inflammatory infiltrate and affected muscle fibers in (A). In (B), expression of tachykinin mRNA in cells of the inflammatory infiltrate (darks spots) (arrows) is seen (antisense staining). There is no reaction in the sense control (C, arrows at cells). Asterisk at corresponding muscle fiber location. # indicates similar regions in (B, C) (artifact in B). Magnification x200 (A), x315 (B, C).
