Relatively few attempts have been made in the past to isolate and expand lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Recently this task has become feasible thanks to the identification of new lymphatic markers such as Podoplanin, Lyve-1, Prox-1 and D2-40. Using a two-step purification method based on the sorting of endothelial cells with Ulex Europaeus Agglutinin 1-coated beads followed by purification with monoclonal...
