Tenascins are expressed in distinctive and dynamic patterns during development. Photo shows a section through the small intestine of a 17‐day‐old chicken embryo. Double‐label indirect immunohistochemistry was used to localize tenascin‐Y (the avian homologue of tenascin‐X, identified with a red Alexa 594‐tagged secondary antibody) and tenascin‐R (identified with a green Alexa 488‐taged secondary antibody). Tenascin‐Y is concentrated in extracellular matrix of the muscularis mucosa, whereas the expression of tenascin‐R is restricted to the autonomic nervous system.
