Figure 1

Morphology of lymphatic vessels in cervical cancer tissue. (A) The lymph vessels of the normal cervix control were open and regular (arrow). Primary antibody: LYVE-1 polyclonal antibody, magnification: ×200. (B) Blood vessel endothelial cells, negative by immunostaining, with some red blood cells in the capillary lumen (arrow). Primary antibody: LYVE-1 polyclonal antibody, magnification: ×400. (C) The intratumoral lymph vessels were small and collapsed (←); in contrast, the peritumoral lymphatics were often dilated, and irregularly shaped (→). Primary antibody: LYVE-1 polyclonal antibody, magnification: ×200. (D) Some invading cancer cells were present in lymph vessels (star). Primary antibody: LYVE-1 polyclonal antibody, magnification: ×400.
