LTα₁β₂ induces the formation of complex lymphatic networks. In vitro analysis of the effect of LTα₁β₂ stimulation on lymphatic endothelial cell tube formation assay showing (A) total branching length, (B) segment length (pixels), (C) number of nodes, and (D) number of meshes. (E) Representative photomicrographs of nontreated, FCS-treated, and LTα₁β₂-treated lymphatic endothelial cells. Data are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 after one-way repeated measurements ANOVA analysis.
