Fig. 2

Cross Sects. (5 μm thick) of Lumbricus terrestris. Sections are immunohistochemically treated with anti-TLR2 and anti-CD14 antibodies. Magnification 20x. Clear coelomocytes immunoreactive for antibodies tested (arrows) are evident. Epithelial cells are labeled by TLR2 (*). Some coelomocytes are positive only for TLR2, maybe indicating a different cell population, probably eleocytes (arrowheads). Positive colocalization of these antibodies may suggest that these cells are amoebocytes (double arrows). The “Display profile” function confirms these data. TL = Transmitted Light
