Factor VIII-Related Antigen Detects Phenotypic Change of Sinusoidal to Vascular Endothelium in Hepatic Fibrosis of Elderly Cadavers
Figure 9
FVIIIRAg immunostaining of vasculature in fibrous septa and microscar. These sections were poststained with Sirius red for collagens. (a) Developing septum. The septum discloses a vein (arrow) of moderate length, which is stained positively for FVIIIRAg (brown color). (b) Bridging septum. This rather broad septum contains vessels (arrows) marked by positive FVIIIRAg staining (brown color). (c) Microscar. The scar—measured 20–30 μm across—reveals a microvessel (arrow) stained positively FVIIIRAg (brown color).
