FIG. 5.

In vivo host vessel ingrowth. Immunofluorescence (IF) for CD31 at 3 weeks' time point of (A) HA-FIB, (B) HA-FIB-B3.75, (C) HA-FIB-B5; (D) vessels quantification, calculated as the percentage of CD31⁺ area with regard to the total picture area (n=5 per experimental group). Inflammatory response. IF for F4/80 at 3 weeks' time point of (E) HA-FIB, (F) HA-FIB-B3.75, and (G) HA-FIB-B5 samples; (H) migrated monocytes quantification, calculated as the percentage of F4/80⁺ area with regard to the total picture area (n=5 per experimental group). Scale bar: 50 μm. *p<0.01, **p<0.001. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
