Figure 1From: Endothelial cell activation and neovascularization are prominent in dermatomyositisExpression pattern of CD146 in juvenile dermatomyositis (DM), adult DM, and control muscle biopsies. Frozen muscle sections from myositis and control samples were stained with antibodies that recognize pan endothelial marker CD146. Representative staining patterns for CD146 in normal human muscle control (panels a&c) and DM (panel b) and juvenile DM (panel d). Note strong endothelial staining in the capillaries of both DM and juvenile DM patients.Back to article page
