Detection of vascular dendritic cells accumulating calcified deposits in their cytoplasm.

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of calcified microdeposits in non-atherosclerotic intima of the human aorta was studied by electron microscopy. Aortic specimens were obtained during aortic reconstruction and were embedded in Lowicryl resin. Non-stained ultrathin sections were analysed using an electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray microanalyser. Subsequent staining of these ultrastructural sections with...
