B Representative HE staining figures and IHC staining figures of CD31 in BALB/c-nu/nu mouse tissue section. C Representative HE staining figures (top), Masson staining figures (middle) and IHC staining figures of α-SMA (bottom) in and BALB/c-nu/nu mouse tissue sections. ART = adjacent renal tissues; PT = primary tumor; TT = tumor thrombus; scale bars, 50 µm.
