C4b-Binding Protein Is Present in Affected Areas of Myocardial Infarction during the Acute Inflammatory Phase and Covers a Larger Area than C3
Figure 2
C4BP binds to individual cardiomyocytes.
Compromised cardiomyocytes stain positive for C4BP shown in both cross sectional (A,B) and sagital view (C, D). Boxed areas in A and C (original magnification 100×) are shown at higher magnification in B and D (original magnification 400×). Arrowhead in D shows cross-striation, typical for cardiomyocytes.
