Immunogold labeling using a MoAb to the amino terminal of P2Y1 was as described in “Materials and methods.” Gold particles were counted visually on the sections. Control values for irrelevant antibody were fewer than 3 particles per 100 sections. Surface area was calculated by computer analysis. Results are ± SD.
