From: Origin of the vasculature supporting growth of primary patient tumor xenografts

Figure 3

At the time of second passage, vessels in successfully growing xenografts of four different tumor types surveyed were of murine origin: A-C Colon; D-F Lung; G-I Pancreatic; J-L Renal Cell Carcinoma. For each tumor type, a representative section of an original patient specimen labeled with anti-huCD31 is shown (A, D, G, J). For each tumor, sections of the first passage xenografted tumor when it was resected are also shown; while no huCD31(+) vessels were identified in the xenografts (B, E, H, K), msCD34(+) vessels were abundant (C, F, I, L). (bars = 50 μ).
