Immunofluorescence of calponin on stented arteries after 4 weeks.

Notes: Calponin immunostaining (red) of (A) a drug-eluting spiral stent and (B) balloon-injury artery. Autofluorescence on tunica media (green) and DAPI-stained nuclei are also shown. A high degree of positive labeling with calponin was observed on the drug-loaded spiral stent vessels. The double arrow depicts tunica media. Group B showed that marked neointimal hyperplasia resulted from proliferation of smooth muscle cells.

Abbreviation: DAPI, diamidine-2-phenylindole.
