Phenotype of normal cutaneous microvasculature. Immunoelectron microscopic observations with emphasis on the differences between blood vessels and lymphatics.

Abstract excerpt

The lymphatic system has been poorly characterized in comparison to the blood vessels. We investigated the expression of microvasculature markers in cutaneous lymphatics and blood microvessels in normal skin. Scrotal skin was chosen because of its high density of both types of microvessels. A pre-embedding peroxidase-conjugated immunoelectron microscopy technique was used, allowing both the visualization of the...
