Figure 6

Vascular analogs in cultured skin substitutes plus endothelial cells (CSS + ECs) are not perfused by host mouse circulation. Shown is a section from vascular endothelial growth factor-modified CSS + ECs (group 4) at 3 weeks after grafting to mice. Epidermis is at the top of the panel; scale bar = 0.1 mm. Human vascular analogs (black arrows) were stained using an antibody specific for human CD34. Note that erythrocytes can be seen in unstained mouse vessels (red arrows), but not in vessels derived from transplanted human ECs.
