VCAM-1 positive blood vessels surrounding the bronchial tree of a whole lung lobe imaged by LSM

VCAM-1 positive blood vessels surrounding the bronchial tree of a whole lung lobe imaged by LSM

Three-dimensional animated visualization of lungs stained i.v. with anti VCAM-1 (cyan). The autofluorescence signal depicts the bronchial tree. Note the close proximity between the VCAM-1 positive blood vessels and the different bronchioles constituting the bronchial tree.
