Transformed African Green Monkey Kidney Fibroblast Cells (COS-7 Line)

In this section, a culture of transformed African green monkey kidney (COS-7 line) cells is presented that was labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to the lectin wheat germ agglutinin. Fluorescent wheat germ agglutinin conjugates are often used as probes for the Golgi network in mammalian cultures. The cells were also stained with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI, which target F-actin and DNA, respectively.
