Comparison of α-smooth muscle actin expression in wild type (wt) and α8 integrin-deficient (α8-/-) freshly isolated vascular smooth muscle cells. α8 integrin expression by real-time RT-PCR analysis (A), Western blot analysis with amido black (Abl) staining as loading control. (B) and immunofluorescent detection (C) (x1000). Results are representative for at least 3 similar experiments.
