Figure 3From: Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis during human fetal pancreas developmentLymphangiogenesis during human pancreatic development. (A) Pancreas at W9 immunostained for CK19 and LYVE1. White arrows point to LYVE1-positive lymphatic vessels. White line shows the separation between the peri-pancreatic mesenchyme (PPM) and intra-pancreatic mesenchyme (IPM). (B) Pancreas at W11 immunostained for CK19 and podoplanin (PDPN). White arrows point to PDPN-positive lymphatic vessels. (C) Pancreata at W14.5, W17, W19 and W21 immunostained for CK19 and LYVE1. (D) Pancreata at W14.5, W17, W19 and W21 immunostained for CK19 and PDPN. Note that autofluorescent red blood cells, as yellow/orange dots, are present in in all images. Scale bars: 50 μm.Back to article page
