Immunofluorescence analysis of laminin-α2. The immunofluorescent signal for laminin-α2 was similar in SSI myocardium (b, right panel) in comparison with the immunofluorescent signal in sham-operated myocardium (a, left panel). The mean area (%) (c) and fluorescent intensity (optical density (OD) expressed in arbitrary units) (d) of laminin-α2 in the heart left ventricles of SSI mice were not different from the values in the left ventricles of sham-operated hearts. The graphs show the batches of data of percent area and optical density of laminin-α2 signals (n=5 ventricles hearts per group). Scale bars indicate 50 μm. NS, not significant.
