Human peripheral blood monocytes were stained with Mouse Anti-Human a-Smooth Muscle Actin PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC1420P, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # IC003P, open histogram). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).
