Embryonic Swiss Mouse Fibroblast Cells (3T3)

In this section, a Swiss mouse embryo fibroblast cell is presented that was resident in a culture labeled with the fluorophore Texas Red-X conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin, a fluorescent lectin that selectively binds to sialic acid residues. Wheat germ agglutinin conjugates are often used as probes for the Golgi network in mammalian cultures. The cells were also stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI, which target F-actin and DNA, respectively.
