Fig. 4From: Microembolus clearance through angiophagy is an auxiliary mechanism preserving tissue perfusion in the rat brainMicroembolization with fibrin clots in vivo. a Fibrin clots (red) were not found in the brain vasculature (lectin; green), nor in the brain parenchyma at D1 after embolization. Scale bar = 1 mm. b Example (maximum intensity projections) of fibrin clots in the brain vasculature in an acute experiment, i.e. the rat was killed 1 h after injection with fibrin clots. (i) Fibrin clot (red) with lectin perfusion (green), and (ii) a fibrin clot occluding the vessel and hampering lectin perfusion. Scale bar = 10 µmBack to article page
