Figure 7

Lectin and human CD-31 double staining for the analysis of perfused vessels that are made of human endothelial cells. The control (C), no pre-culture (NP), 1 week pre-culture (1P), 2 week pre-culture (2P) and 3 week pre-culture (3P) groups are observed for lectin and human CD-31 staining. The image shows that both types of stain co-localize in all the groups except the controls suggesting the presence of perfused human endothelial vessels in the pre-culture groups, i.e., NP, 1P, 2P and 3P. Also, presence of fibrin (via differential interference contrast microscopy) and cell nuclei (via DAPI staining) is also depicted at the same area which further indicates the association of cells and fibrin with the lectin and CD-31 stained cells. Scale bar for each image is 50µm.
