Lymphatics in the Matrigel plugs are closely associated with leukocytes. Networks of lymphatic capillaries are demonstrated with the LEC marker podoplanin (red). Note that the distribution of leukocytes, stained with anti-CD45 antibodies (green), closely follows the pattern of the lymphatics. Nuclei are counter-stained with Dapi (blue). Bar 50 µm
