DC-STAMP and syncytin-1 are heterogeneously localized in (pre)OCs. Visualization of DC-STAMP and syncytin-1 in (pre)OCs (1 × 105 per well) differentiated for 5 days with RANKL. Nuclei were visualized with DAPI (blue). a Staining of DC-STAMP (red) and F-actin (green). b Staining of syncytin-1 (red) and F-actin (green). Note pattern of heterogeneous localization of both these proteins in cells in close proximity and opposite polarization of syncytin-1 (arrows)
