Figure 6. Effect of VEGF neutralization on scar size.

Scar sizes from mice injected with goat IgG (a) or anti-VEGF antibodies (b) were measured in Masson’s trichrome-stained tissue sections 14 days post-wounding. Arrows are used to indicate the scar margins (scale bar = 200 μm). Scar widths were measured using a stage micrometer and are shown graphically (c). The bars and lines represent average scar width in μm +/− S.E.M.; *p<0.026, unpaired t-test; n = 8 per treatment.
