2. Fig. 1
Light micrograph of serial sections from healthy human carotid artery. A, Media is composed of uniformly structured SMCs with interposed elastin and collagen fibers. (Hemotoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification × 200.) B, Immunohistochemical staining for α-SMC actin. Immunostaining of cytoplasm is uniformly seen in medial SMCs (arrowheads). (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification × 200.) C, Immunohistochemical staining for c-myc oncoprotein. Occasional isolated cells throughout media demonstrate positive reaction product in nucleus (arrows). (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification × 100.) D, Immunohistochemical controls with preimmune serum for c-myc show no nuclear staining. (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification × 100.)

3. Fig. 2
Light micrograph of serial sections through human carotid plaque from endarterectomy specimen. A, Fibrocellular tissue (F) overlies aggregates of SMCs (s). L, Lumen. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification × 200.) B, Serial section of A exposed to anti-α SMC actin antibody demonstrates uniform cytoplasmic immunostaining of cells. (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification × 200.) c, Immunostaining for product of c-myc protooncogene shows nuclear staining in majority of SMCs from corresponding regions in C. Inset, High-powered magnification of nuclei from plaque cells demonstrates staining intensity of 2 + (arrow). (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification of A, × 200; inset, × 1000.) D, Immunohistochemical controls with preimmune serum for c-myc show no nuclear staining. (Papanicolaou's stain; original magnification × 100.)
