Our aims were to identify pericyte-specific markers for the analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue samples, and to characterize perivascular myoid cell neoplasms phenotypically. Previously identified pericyte markers failed to distinguish pericytes from other cellular types, such as vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) and fibroblasts, in immunohistochemistry analysis. However, we compared...
