To evaluate whether the reduced tumor vascularization observed in HT29-LEF-1-ΔL also occurred in tumors of the same size, we detected microvessels by immunohistochemistry for CD31, VEGFR2 and HIF1α in 18th-day tumors of different groups that were approximately the same size (about 50 mm3; shown in Figure 6C). The gene discussed is KDR; the disease is neoplasm.
