CD9 protein is not detected in myofibers but is abundantly expressed in the blood vessels, nerves, and cells residing in the muscle interstitial space. A Cross-section of the soleus muscle from a control F344/BN rat showing dystrophin and CD9+ cells. The magnified image shows CD9+ cells in the interstitial space (white arrows). B Image of the CD9 expression surrounding the blood vessels, nerves, and muscle spindles. C Image of the CD9 expression around the necrotic muscle fibers. D Staining for WGA as well as CD9+ and Pax7+ cells. Pax7+/CD9+ cells indicated by the white arrowhead, Pax7+/CD9− cells identified by white arrows, and Pax7−/CD9+ cells indicated by gray arrows
