Immunofluorescence analysis of pericyte coverage of microvessels in the Matrigel. (a) Ang-1 treatment of diabetic rats; the neovascular marker JG12 (red) and the expression of desmin (green), a pericyte marker, were confirmed by immunofluorescence, 50μm. (b) New angiogenic marker JG12 (red) and pericyte α-SMA (green) expression were confirmed by double-labeling technique, 50μm.
