In situ hybridization analyses of A2M mRNA in normal and cancerous ovaries of hens. Cross-sections of normal and cancerous ovaries of hens hybridized with antisense or sense chicken A2M cRNA probes demonstrated abundant A2M mRNA predominantly in GE of cancerous ovaries, but not in LE, stroma or blood vessels. Legend: F, follicle; GE, glandular epithelium; S, stroma; Scale bar represents 200 μm (the first horizontal panels and sense) or 50 μm (the second horizontal panels and sense).
