Figure S5.

Stabilized imaging of lymphatic vessels draining the liver, spleen, and heart. (A–C) Prox1-eGFP:Rosa26mTmG mice were given Evans blue i.v. prior to stabilized intravital imaging of (A) the hilum of the liver, (B) the hilum of the spleen, and (C) the ventricular wall of the heart. Note free movement of Evans blue–labeled plasma proteins into liver and spleen draining lymphatics, likely due to the fenestrated endothelium lining blood vessels in these organs, as well as many leukocytes with lymphocyte morphology draining from the spleen, a secondary lymphoid organ. Images are representative of three independent experiments.
