Capillary Dilation and Rarefaction Are Correlated with Intracapillary Inflammation in Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Figure 1
Peritubular capillary (PTC) dilation and rarefaction in antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Labeling the endothelial cells for CD31 showed PTC dilation and rarefaction in ABMR group (a), compared with PTC staining in T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) group (b). (c) PTC density among the three groups revealed a rarefaction of PTCs in ABMR group. (d) PTC diameters among the three groups revealed significant PTC dilation in ABMR group. (e) Intra-PTC areas among the three groups revealed significant PTC enlargement in ABMR group. (a, b) Original magnification, ×400.
