Expression of cyclin D2 in cardiomyocytes after an infarct. A,
Sirius red staining of a mouse heart section four weeks after
ligation of the left coronary artery. Red staining denotes the
presence of collagen in the infarcted area. B, Confocal
immunofluorescence analysis of cyclin D2 in an area of
myocardium remote from the infarct: Cyclin D2, green; asarcomeric
actin, red; Dapi, blue. Arrows indicate cyclin D2positive
cardiomyocytes.
