- Percentages of positive cells analyzed by immunohistochemistry evaluating a total of 500 cells/population. In parentheses are the number of independent human EC populations evaluated (HOC-EC = ovarian carcinoma EC; HKC-EC = kidney carcinoma EC; HA-EC = adrenal gland-EC; HSk-EC = skin-EC, HUVEC = umbilical vein EC).
- Shown are the range of values obtained for the different endothelial cell types.
- * Population showing positivity values below 65% were not utilized. nt=not determined
