Fig. 4From: Angiogenic response in an in vitro model of dog microvascular endothelial cells stimulated with antigenic extracts from Dirofilaria immitis adult wormsEndothelial cell tube formation assay on Matrigel plates. Representative image showing cellular connections and cellular sets evaluated in the experiment (a). Representative images from non-stimulated cultures (b), cultures stimulated with DiSA (c) and cultures stimulated with tDiSA (d). e Graphic representation of the cell connections/cell sets relationship in non-stimulated cultures (C), cultures stimulated with DiSA and cultures stimulated with tDiSA. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. Significant differences in comparisons with the other groups were indicated by an asterisk (*)Back to article page
