Identification of lymphatic vessels after intra-arterial injection of dyes and other substances

Influences of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis on cancerous invasion in experimentally induced tongue carcinoma

“…Past in vivo studies of the identification of lymph vessels have been performed using the dye needle infusion method, the hydrogen peroxide treatment method, and the India ink‐supplemented silver nitrate local arterial infusion method (18), but the identification of lymph vessels has remained difficult in spite of the use of these methods. Recently, Kato (15, 16) directed their attention to the finding that 5′‐Nase is very active in lymphangial endothelial cells, whereas vascular endothelial cells are strongly positive for alkaline phosphatase; these findings were then used to design a means of 5′‐Nase‐ALPase double staining.…”

Three-Dimensional Organization of Lymphatics and their Relationship to Blood Vessels in Rabbit Small Intestine. A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study of Corrosion Casts

“…Such an anatomical relationship be ween the lymphatic and blood capillaries has already been proposed by MoRI (1979) based on their extensive studies in a number of organs.…”

Regrowth of lymphatic vessels following transection of the muscle coat in the rat small intestine

“…The fine structure and distribution of lymphatic vessels in the gut have been investigated by various methods in several mammalian species (Katsuna 1968;Mori 1969;Ohtani and Ohtsuka 1985;Ohtani 1987Ohtani , 1992Ohtani and Murakami 1987;Ushiki 1990). However, no information has been available regarding the restoration of the lymphatic network in tissue repair of the gut, whereas the capacity of lymphatics to regenerate has been detected in wound healing in the skin (Clark and Clark 1932;Bellman and Oden 1958;Paavonen et al 2000).…”
