Figure 6From: C-reactive protein exerts angiogenic effects on vascular endothelial cells and modulates associated signalling pathways and gene expressionCRP stimulated spoke wheel blood vessel formation in the CAM assay. A, Negative control (score 0.5); B, CRPdt-treated (5 μg/ml; score 2.0); C, Positive control, FGF-2-treated (100 ng/ml) (score 3.0). Spoke wheel patterns can be seen in both CRP- and FGF-2-treated samples originating from the pellet (designated by dotted circles). Experiments were performed twice. A representative example of 5 CAM's used per experiment is shown.Back to article page
