Figure 5From: Enhanced expressions of microvascular smooth muscle receptors after focal cerebral ischemia occur via the MAPK MEK/ERK pathwayDouble immunofluorescence staining for pERK1/2, pElk-1 and actin in smooth muscle cells in the middle cerebral artery after MCAO. (A) Localization of pERK1/2 immunoreactivity, (B) actin immunostaining, and (C) their co-localization in the smooth muscle cells. (D) The pElk-1 immunoreaction, (E) the actin immunostaining, and (F) their co-localization in the smooth muscle cells. The scale bar represents 50 μm.Back to article page
