A) Fluorescence imaging (photon flux images) of dissected Matrigel implants seeded with transduced and control (WT) HUVECs 6 wk postinjection in the flanks of athymic animals. B) Histology of vessels formed in GFP+-HUVEC-seeded implant. Blue, DAPI; green, GFP. C) Fluorescence imaging of GFP+ HUVEC and GFP/Nog+ HUVEC implants in green channel reflecting GFP+ cell presence. D) Fluorescence imaging of the same implants in the near-infrared (Cy5.5 channel) after injecting animals with anti-CD31-Cy5.5 conjugates.
