Figures

  • Figure 1.
    Figure 1.

    Representative photomicrograph (63X) demonstrating that the isolated endothelial cells (ECs) stain positive for the EC specific marker CD31. ECs grown on a tissue culture chamber slide were stained with Alexa 647 labeled anti-CD31 antibody (red) and counterstained with the DNA dye DAPI (blue)

  • Figure 2.
    Figure 2.

    Representative photomicrograph (40X) demonstrating that the isolated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exhibit positive staining for α-smooth muscle actin (brown). VSMCs grown on a tissue culture chamber slide were stained for α-smooth muscle actin and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue)
