Microvessels within the plugs stained against human-specific CD34. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI. Scale bar, 100 μm.The area of CD34-positive microvessels was quantified and normalized to the total area of plug. Results represent the means ± s.e.m of 5 plugs (control) and 7 plugs (Sema3C), *P = 0.018.
