Expression of mRNA encoding VEGF-D and Ang-2 in macrophages infiltrating a poorly differentiated (FIGO grade 3) endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. In situ hybridisation with VEGF-D antisense probe shown under dark-field (A) conditions and light-field conditions (C). In situ hybridisation with VEGF-D sense (control) probe shows no specific hybridisation (B) (scale bar applies to (A), (B), (E) and (F)). Immunostaining with anti-human CD68 in a serial section (D), localises the silver grains to tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) (scale bar applies to (C), (D), (G) and (H)). In situ hybridisation with Ang-2 antisense probe shown under dark-field (E) and light-field (G) conditions. In situ hybridisation with Ang-2 sense (control) probe (F) shows no specific hybridisation. Anti-human cytokeratin staining (H) localises the hybridisation to TAMs.
