Figure 7From: Lack of α8 integrin leads to morphological changes in renal mesangial cells, but not in vascular smooth muscle cellsConnective tissue growth factor (CTGF; 36 kDa) protein expression in wild type (wt) and α8 integrin-deficient (α8-/-) mesangial cells (MCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSCMs). Staining for β-actin was used as a loading control. Results are representative for 3 similar experiments.Back to article page
