Figure 8. Capillary-like morphogenesis of CEC in Matrigel

The CEC from wild type (A,C) and TSP1^-/- (B,D) were plated on Matrigel as described in Methods. After 16 h of incubation, wild type CEC formed well-organized capillary-like network (A), while TSP1-/- CEC ability to organize was somewhat compromised (B). C and D (x100) are higher magnificationS of A and B (x40), respectively. These experiments were repeated twice with two different isolations of CEC with similar results.
