Fig. 6

Immunofluorescence staining of Vimentin in the tongue of the red-eared slider. Green indicates Vimentin, while blue represents nuclei counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Panels A-C illustrate Vimentin expression in the lamina propria, stroma, and taste buds (TB) of the fungiform papilla in the red-eared slider’s tongue. Panel D-F showcases taste buds (TB) and taste pores (TP) on the epithelial surface of the fungiform papilla in the tongue of the red-eared slider. Scale bars: A = 200 μm, B = 150 μm, C and D = 50 μm, E and F = 25 μm
