Figure 6. Enhanced developmental lymphangiogenesis by IL-8.

Figure 6

(a) Dermal lymphatic networks of neonatal pups of Prox1-GFP (n=5) versus K14-hIL8/Prox1-GFP (n=6) mice. Scale bars, 20 µm. (b) Morphometric vascular analyses were performed on the dermal lymphatic networks of the two groups of mice. Microscopic images of the lymphatic networks in the dorsal flank areas were captured with ten pups per group. Total length and branching points of lymphatic vessels per optical field were measured for five fields (200X) using the NIH Image J program. All values were normalized against the control (Prox1-GFP) mice and displayed as a percent average ± standard deviation. *, p < 0.05.
