Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated that the outer membrane included inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and microvessels. Ten-micrometer slices were immunostained with polyclonal antibodies against platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGF receptor-β, B and C), N-cadherin (D and E), and Tie-2 (F and G) using the ABC method. The areas within the rect- angle, labeled in B, D, and F, are shown at high magnification in Panels C, E, and G, respectively. Notably, these molecules are ex- pressed in endothelial cells (C, E, and G, arrows). Immunostaining without primary antibodies is shown (H). Scale bars = 50 μm (A, B, D, F, and H).
Article Snippet: The phosphorylated PDGFR-β immunoblots were stripped and reprobed with primary polyclonal anti-PDGFR-β antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology) at a dilution of 1:750 overnight at 4°C.
