Desmin and Vimentin. (A) Uterine leiomyoma-derived fibroblasts (FB) stained negatively for desmin (center) and positively for vimentin (upper left). Inset lower right: Negative Control (NC) = Normal Mouse Serum. (B) UtLM cells and UtSMC (C) stained positively for desmin (center) and vimentin (upper left). Inset lower right: NC = Normal Mouse Serum. OTR. (D) Leiomyoma-derived FB was negative for the OTR. Inset upper left: NC = Normal Goat Serum. Positive staining of the OTR was observed in both UtLM cells (E) and UtSMC (F). Inset upper left: NC = Normal Goat Serum.
