The vascular density at infarct border zone is greater in E2F2 KO mice and lower in endothelial E2F3 KO mice than in their WT littermates.

Abstract

<p>Blood vessels were stained with BS lectin 1 (green), and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). (<b>A</b>) Representative immunofluorescence images. (<b>B</b>) Quantification of vascular density at the infarct border zone. n = 12 mice per group; *P<0.05 vs. VE-Cre; E2F3^+/+, ^#P<0.05 vs. E2F2 WT; HPF, high power field.</p
