Sjollema, Martin H. de Borst, Gerjan Navis, Harry van Goor, Jacob van den BornMost podoplanin positive lymph vessels were observed close to tubules (mostly proximal) which showed VEGF-C expression at 12 weeks (arrows). After double staining for macrophages and myofibroblast, most of these interstitial cells were negative for VEGF-C. (Bar = 100 µm).
