Label-Free Imaging of Umbilical Cord Tissue Morphology and Explant-Derived Cells
Figure 2
Staining of umbilical cord tissue for αSMA expression (brown). Images are shown for umbilical cord areas: (a) vein, (b) arteries, (c) Wharton’s jelly, and (d) cord edge and amniotic epithelium. Slides were counterstained using Mayer’s hematoxylin (dark blue = cell nuclei). Scale bars = 50 μm. Unstained cells (black arrows) are found in all anatomical compartments of the cord. Representative images of 3 different experiments are shown. Images of control staining without primary antibody are available in the electronic Supplementary Material, Figure S1, available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/5457132. Scale bars = 50 μm (top left corner).
