Cell morphology of tilapia cell lines.

Abstract

<p>Images depicting differences in cell morphology of two newly immortalized cell lines derived from brain (OmB) (A+D) and lip (OmL) (B+E) and the previously established bulbus arteriosus (TmB) (C+F) cell line. OmB cells are fibroblast-like, OmL cells are epithelial-like, and TmB cells are endothelial. Images were taken on an inverted or fluorescent microscope at 100X (A–B) and 250X (C), and 400X (D–F) magnification. Cells (D–F) were stained with MitoTracker Red to visualize mitochondria (red) and with Hoechst 33342 for nuclei (blue).</p
