Abstract excerpt
Quantitative immunoblotting techniques were used to study the effects of seeding density on the expression of caldesmon and vinculin variants, which are sensitive markers of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic modulation in culture. Rabbit aortic SMC were seeded at different densities: 1...
