Co-localization of alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) with vessel-lectin (C) and β-amyloid (Aβ) (E). Transgenic mice (Tg-SweDI) were transcardially perfused with PBS, fresh frozen and 40 µm thick sections were stained for nuclear DAPI (blue, A), αSMA (Alexa-488, green, B, E), lectin (red, C) and Aβ (E). Staining was visualized by fluorescence (A-D) or chromogenic diaminobenzidine (brown) /SG (grey) (E). Scale bar in A= 25 µm (A-D), 50 µl (E)
