Fig 5. Immunohistochemical characterization of the vascular and perivascular cell types of the mouse dorsal prostate.

Fig 5

(A) Paraffin embedded adult mouse dorsal prostate sections (15 μm thickness) were stained with DAPI and antibodies against (B, C) ACTA2, PDGFRB, and PECAM. Identified cells include (b1, c1) ACTA2-;PDGFRB-;PECAM+ endothelial cells, (b2) ACTA2-;PDGFRB+;PECAM- pericytes, and (b3, c2) ACTA2+;PDGFRB-;PECAM- vascular smooth muscle cells. Images are representative of three mice. Abbreviations are: ACTA2, actin alpha 2; PDGFRB, platelet derived growth factor receptor beta; PECAM, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule; DAPI, 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-1H -indole-6-carboxamidine; Scale bar is 25 μm.
