In the lysates prepared from LECs originating from LYVE-1 sorting of HDMECs, VEGFR-3 protein concentrations increased to 19.3 ng/mg, while LECs from lymphangiomas reached values of 29.5 – 40.8 ng/mg, which was significantly higher than the concentrations found in foreskin LECs (Table 1). Here, LYVE1 is linked to lymphangioma.
