Cathepsins in basal cell carcinomas: activity, immunoreactivity and mRNA staining of cathepsins B, D, H and L

Arch Dermatol Res (2004) 295:411–421

Figures 3 and 5 were inadvertently exchanged in the course of production. Figure 3 appeared with the legend of Fig. 5, and Fig. 5 appeared with the legend of Fig. 3. The correctly matched illlustrations and legends are given here (Fig. 3, Fig. 5).

Fig. 3

Cathepsin L activity in a solid BCC. The reactions (red) of small and large tumor nests show similar intensities (T tumor nest) (bar 50 μm)

Fig. 5

Double-labeling of CD45-immunoreactive (green) and cathepsin D-immunoreactive (red) cells. Cathepsin D-immunoreactive complexes (arrowheads) often appeared to consist of deteriorated cells. No double-stained cells are seen. Immunoreactive cells are confined to the intratumoral stroma (T tumor nest) (bar 20 μm)
