Vimentin and Tenomodulin expression in primary cultures of rat tenocytes. Cells were plated into 96-well plates in D-MEM with 10% FBS overnight, then fixed and immunostained. (A) Most (95%) tenocytes were elongated and immunoreactive for tenomodulin (green), a glycoprotein predominantly expressed in tendons and ligaments. (B) Tenocyte cells were also immunoreactive for vimentin (red), an intermediate filament found in mesenchymal cells and tenocytes. (C) Merger of images in A and B. Nuclei were counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue). Photos were taken using a 60X objective.
