Filarial ES-induced lymphangiogenic mediators induce LEC tubule formation <i>in vitro</i>.

<p>LECs were grown on Matrigel in the presence or absence of IL-8, IL-6 or VEGF-A and lymphatic networks were photographed (A). (B) The number of tubules was quantified using image analysis software. The data represented here are the means +SEM of one experiment representative of 4 independent experiments performed in triplicate.
