Myocardial angiogenesis. (A) Immunofluorescence staining for endothelium (CD31, in red), pericytes (NG2, in green), smooth muscle cells (SMA, in cyan) and nuclei (DAPI, in blue) in sections of myocardium injected with phosphate‐buffered saline, control cells (CD8) or ASC expressing uncontrolled heterogeneous levels (ALL) or a specific homogeneous VEGF level (SPEC). Angiogenesis was quantified either as the area fraction occupied by CD31‐positive pixels (B) or as vessel length density (C); n = 3 per group; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
