Figure 2

Immunohistochemical analysis of preimplantation (day 0) CRC tissue sections and xenografts resected 10 and 30 days after implantation using antihuman CD34 (a, c, e and g) and antimouse CD34 (b, d, f and h). Original magnification, × 400. (i) Temporal changes in vessel density (mean±s.d. of CD34-positive vessels in five high-power fields per section). Quantification of vasculature in CRC initial specimens and xenografts harvested 10, 20 or 30 days after implantation. (j) Double immunostaining (detail) of mouse CD34 (DAB) and human laminin (permanent red) of xenograft sections 10 days postimplantation. Solid arrows indicate murine ECs (reddish brown), and arrowheads the laminin-rich basement membrane (pink). Original magnification, × 1000, immersion oil.
