Identification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in primary cultures. (A) Primary cultures of VSMCs (phase contrast). (B) Nuclear staining with DAPI (fluorescence) (C) α-smooth muscle actin staining, a marker of VSMCs (immunofluorescence). (D) Co-staining of nuclei and α-smooth muscle actin (fluorescence/immunofluorescence). All images are displayed at 200× magnification.
