Immunofluorescence detection of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in isolated normal fibroblasts (NFs) and tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs). NFs originated from dermal tissue and TAFs from liposarcomas. TAFs expressed α-SMA. TAF1 were obtained from intermediate-grade myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and TAF2 from high-grade pleomorphic liposarcoma. Notably, the increase in the FCS concentration led to an enhanced expression of α-SMA in TAFs. Original magnification, ×200.
