Figure 1 Graphs showing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (A), endostatin (B) and E‐selectin (C) immunostaining intensity and median staining intensity scores (D) in choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVs) without photodynamic therapy (PDT) and CNV extracted at 3 days and >20 days after PDT. VEGF, endostatin and E‐selectin immunostaining in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)‐Bruch's membrane, vessels and stromal cells were evaluated separately and semiquantitatively as intense (70–100% positive cells), moderate (40–69% positive cells), mild (1–39% positive cells) or absent. Staining scores of 3, 2, 1 and 0 were assigned to “intense”, “moderate”, “mild” and “absent” intensity of staining, respectively.
