TABLE 2.

Tail lymphatic vessel diameter and network morphology

Genotype	Lymphatic vessel diameter (µm)	Horizontal mesh size (µm)	Vertical mesh size (µm)
Wild-type (n=17)	48 ± 1	700 ± 8	280 ± 5
LYVE-1 ⁻^/− (n=9)	51 ± 3	660 ± 20	270 ± 4
CD44 ^−/− (n=7)	47 ± 1	660 ± 20	270 ± 8
LYVE-1^−/−//CD44^−/− (n=14)	49 ± 2	680 ± 10	280 ± 4

There were no significant differences between wild-type, LYVE-1 ^−/−, CD44 ^−/− and double knockout mice for these tail morphometric parameters, as determined by the ANOVA analysis with Games-Howell post-hoc test. The p values were greater than 0.4 in all cases.
