In situ hybridization for mRNAs of IFN-α-related genes and Tlr7 in the small and large intestines. A. Photomicrographs showing localization of Ifna1, Ifit1, Irf7 and Tlr7. In the small intestine, all signals for Ifna1, Ifit1, Irf7 and Tlr7 were detected in Paneth cells. In the large intestines, the signals were detected in the discrete cells distributed in lamina propria, though further examination is necessary to elucidate whether these signals were generated from the same cells, and to determine their cellular identity. Five sections per tissue were prepared from each of 8 mice. Representative photographs were shown.
