Embryonic Swiss Mouse Fibroblast Cells (3T3)

A single Swiss mouse embryo fibroblast cell that was part of an adherent culture stained with Texas Red conjugated to the lectin concanavalin A is presented in this section. Concanavalin A selectively binds to alpha-mannopyranosyl and alpha-glucopyranosyl residues in glycoproteins. Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI were also used to label the culture, targeting filamentous actin and nuclear DNA, respectively.
