Rat Jejunum Myenteric Plexus Enteroglial Cells (EGC/PK060399egfr Line)

In a manner similar to that employed for a specimen linked above, a culture of EGC enteroglial cells was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to the lectin concanavalin A, which selectively binds to alpha-mannopyranosyl and alpha-glucopyranosyl residues (primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum). Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI were also used to label the culture, targeting filamentous actin and nuclear DNA, respectively.
