Fig 10. Delayed graft function is associated with decreased peritubular capillary density.

Fig 10

Capillary endothelial cells were detected by CD-31 staining as detailed in Materials and Methods. Panel A, B: CD-31 staining of control protocol biopsy. Tubular structures are surrounded by multiple peritubular capillaries (arrows). Panel C, D: CD-31 staining of DGF biopsy. There is an evident decrease in the abundance and density of the peritubular capillaries, particularly in a patchy, non-uniform distribution (arrows). (Final magnifications: Panels A, C: X250; Panels B, D: X 300).
