Western Blot analysis of cortex vessel extracts isolated from adult 12-month-old wildtype (C57BL/6) and transgenic (Tg-SweDI) mice. Extracted isolated cortex vessel extracts were run on a gel, blotted and then stained with antibodies against alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), actin or laminin (as a loading control). Size markers are given on the right in kDa. αSMA-like immunoreactivity was quantified (optical density) and is given as mean±SEM) (B). Statistical analysis was performed by students T-test (** p<0.01). The number of n is given in parenthesis.
