Desmin and sarcomeric myosin expression in equine skeletal muscle cells: Immunofluorescence images of Thoroughbred skeletal muscle; primary, conditionally immortalised, and primary-like myoblasts and terminally differentiated myotubes from three MSTN (CC/II, CT/IN, TT/NN) genotypes. Green, desmin (myogenic marker)/sarcomeric myosin (myosin) (differentiation marker); blue, nuclei. Images were take using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope at 20X. Scale bar (white) indicates 50 μM. Each image is representative of at least 3 independent experiments. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
