Immunofluorescence to evaluate granulation tissue and localization of myocilin by treatment group. The overall laryngeal topography including the vocal folds designated by the rectangles is shown in (A) and (B), TC, thyroid cartilage. Staining for α SMA (C, D) depicts vascular mural cells (pericytes and smooth muscle cells) and fibroblasts. Staining for CD31 (E, F) depicts endothelial cells of blood vessels; LP, lamina propria and the dashed line delineates its border with the underlying vocalis muscle. Myocilin is detected extracellularly around blood vessels (thin arrows) and in the adjacent cells of the mucous-serous glands (G, H) (thick arrow). Scale Bars = 1 mm (A, B) and 400 µm (C–H)
