VEGF165 (red) and VEGF165 b (green) localization in the human RPE/Bruch's membrane/choriocapillaris complex at 12 and 21WG. At 12 WG VEGF165 immunostaining was present diffusely in the choriocapillaris (arrows) and weakly associated with the basal portion of the RPE (arrowhead). VEGF165b appeared to have a nuclear association in the choriocapillaris with very little RPE staining. At 21 WG, the choriocapillaris (single arrows), larger choroidal vessels (paired arrows) and RPE all had increased expression of both VEGF165 and VEGF165b. VEGF165b in RPE appeared apical and nuclear while VEGF165 was predominantly basal
