[Histonet] rodent smooth muscle marker

[Geoff McAuliffe]

Periodic acid-Shiff (PAS) will outline the smooth muscle cells by 
staining the cell coat external to the plasma membrane.

She wishes to measure rat uterine smooth muscle cell volume over gestation and would like to have a marker that would delinate the smooth muscle plasma membrane.  I have looked at some of my Masson trichrome-stained mouse placental sections and this *might* be helpful for her; however, I was thinking one of you might know of a good lectin or antibody marker.  Like I said, she works on rat tissue, but I wouldn't mind receiving some advice on mouse uterine smooth muscle cell markers, too.
