Flat-mount preparation of the ILMs for immunohistochemistry of AQP4. (a, b) On the ILM of DR with DME, AQP4-positive reactions are abundant, irregularly gather, and form clusters (arrowheads). (c–f) On the ILM of iMH or MHRD, AQP4-positive reactions are detected (arrowheads). Magnification: (a) ×100, (b, d, f) ×400, and (c, e) ×200. The area circled by the square is the positive area, which is also the enlarged display area in the next figure.
