Stained skeletal muscle tissue (IMAGE)
Caption
Purdue University’s James Markworth, assistant professor of animal sciences, and PhD student Xinyue Lu observe results of immunofluorescent staining of a cross-sectional sample of skeletal muscle tissue stained with a cocktail of primary antibodies for muscle fiber type analysis. Muscle cells (myofibers) of differing contractile type, such as fast vs. slow twitch fibers, are distinguished via their resulting staining color.
