Figure 5

Effect of recombinant VEGF/VPF165 on the proliferation of the cells in the glomerulus during the course of glomerulo-nephritis. Recombinant VEGF/VPF165 or BSA was administered on the first 4 days of the experiment as described in the text. Mesangial proliferation score (a), vWF-positive area per glome-rulus (b) and relative number of PCNA-positive cells per glomerulus (c) on day 0 (before the anti-Thy-1.1 antibody injection), day 4 and day 18 are shown. Each experiment was independently repeated three times. **P<0.01.
