Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunolabeling of WKY aorta sections with a primary antibody against the IGF-1R alpha subunit. Aortic rings were incubated with plasma from WKY a , b or SHRs c , d in the presence b , d or absence a , c of protease inhibitors (EDTA 10 mM, doxycycline; 11,3 μM) for 24 h. Representative images are shown a - d . Arrowheads indicate the endothelium, and arrows indicate the smooth muscle layer. The scale bar is 500 μm. Bar graphs show the means ± SD of the percentage of stained area using the same incubation conditions a - d in tunica intima (endothelium) e and tunica media (smooth muscle cell) layers f . Two to four different aorta sections per animal were labeled to determine the average per rat ( n = 4). The scale bar is 500 μm. * p < 0.05 compared with WKY plasma-incubated rings; # p < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01 compared with SHR plasma-incubated rings
Article Snippet: Sections were blocked in 0.1% BSA and incubated with a mouse anti-rat IGF-1R alpha monoclonal antibody (1:400; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA; catalog number sc-463) or rabbit anti-rat IGF-1R beta polyclonal antibody (1:100; Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Beverly, MA, USA, catalog number 3027) overnight at 4 °C.
