Flat-mount preparation of the ILMs for immunohistochemistry of AQP7. (a, b) On the ILM of DR with DME, AQP7-positive reactions are abundant, irregularly gather and form clusters (arrowheads). (c–f) On the ILM of iMH or MHRD, AQP7-positive reactions are detected (arrowheads). Magnification: (a, c, e) ×100 and (b, d, f) ×400. The area circled by the square is the positive area, which is also the enlarged display area in the next figure.
