From: Primo Vessel Stressed by Lipopolysaccharide in Rabbits
(A) PVs taken from the LVs after LPS treatment and alcian blue staining were placed on a caudal vena cava and observed using an optical microscope. (B) Magnified view of the PVs (white arrows) and LVs (black arrows) present inside the orange rectangular box in Fig. 5A. The PVs of the PVS appear to be thread-like bundles stained with alcian blue and floating inside the LVs. (C) Isolated and extracted PVs and LVs visible as strips and spiral lines, respectively. LPS = lipopolysaccharide; LV = lymph vessel; PV = primo vessel; PVS = primo vascular system.
