Adrenal gland - A weak to moderate PGP9.5 positivity can occur in cortical cells adjacent to the medulla.
Adrenal gland - Strong PGP9.5 immunostaining in all medullary cells.
Aorta media - PGP9.5 staining is seen in some fibres of the media of the aorta.
Appendix, mucosa
Appendix, muscular wall
Bone marrow
Breast
Bronchus, mucosa - In the bronchus mucosa, PGP9.5 immunostaining occurs in a fraction of cells. A “mosaic pattern” displaying a mixture of positive and negative cells is typically seen.
Cerebellum (molecular layer, Purkinje cell layer, granule cell layer) - Strong PGP9.5 positivity in all neuronal cells and in axons. Glia cells are negative.
Cerebellum (white matter)
Cerebrum, grey matter - Strong PGP9.5 positivity in all neuronal cells and in axons. Glia cells are negative.
Cerebrum, white matter
Colon descendens, mucosa
Colon descendens, muscular wall - Strong PGP9.5 immunostaining of nerve fibres and ganglions in the muscular wall.
Duodenum, Brunner gland
Duodenum, mucosa
Epididymis - In the epididymis, PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in a small fraction of cells in distal tubuli and collecting ducts. The staining intensity is variable and sometimes a “mosaic pattern” is seen.
Esophagus, squamous epithelium
Fallopian tube, mucosa - In the fallopian tube, a moderate PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in scattered epithelial cells.

Liver
Lung
Lymph node
Ovary, stroma - The ovarian stroma exhibits a moderate PGP9.5 immunostaining.
Pancreas - In the pancreas, a strong PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in virtually all cells of islets of Langerhans. In addition small nerve fibres stain positive.
Parathyroid gland
Parotid gland - In the parotid gland, a strong PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in small nerve fibres.
Pituitary gland, anterior lobe

Testis - In the testis, a strong PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in spermatogonia. PGP9.5 staining decreases sharply in spermatocytes where it is only faint. A moderate PGP9.5 staining is seen in Leydig cells while Sertoli cells remain PGP9.5 negative.
Thymus - Scattered PGP9.5 positive cells occur in the thymus.
Thyroid gland
Tonsil - Weak PGP9.5 immunostaining is seen in a fraction of lymphocytes in the tonsil.
Tonsil, surface epithelium - Staining of the epithelium surface represents ink (no true immunostaining).
