Male Rat Kangaroo Kidney Epithelial Cells (PtK2)

In this section, the featured culture of rat kangaroo kidney epithelial (PtK2) cells was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-vimentin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Rhodamine Red-X. Vimentin is a protein present in the intermediate filaments of many cell lines derived from the mesoderm. The cell culture was also counterstained for DNA with DAPI.
