From: Myofibroblasts and colonic anastomosis healing in Wistar rats
Expression of α-SMA in anastomotic sites: The antigen is expressed in myofibroblasts, pericytes and smooth muscle cells (3 rd postoperative day). The staining intensity of myofibroblasts is weaker than that of muscularis propria fibers (immunohistochemical stains for α-SMA, ×400).
