Figure 1From: In-vitro effects of the antimicrobial peptide Ala8,13,18-magainin II amide on isolated human first trimester villous trophoblast cellsImmunocytochemical characterization of isolated villous trophoblast cells. Isolated cells were allowed to attach to the collagen biomatrix and immunostained for cytokeratin 7 (CK7; A; green) and βhCG (B; green) and vitronectin receptor (CD51; C; green). Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue). Bar = 40 μm.Back to article page
