After demonstration that the immunostaining for p62/SQSTM1 detects BD-lesions in the heart (Fig. 2A–C) and that it provides an easy detection of the BD-lesions (Fig. 5A–D) we used anti-p62/SQSTM1 immunohistochemistry for assessing the frequency of BD-lesions in a given part of the heart. Here, SQSTM1 is linked to Behcet disease.
