Also, 89 of 186 evaluable TMA cores exhibited more than 10 CD34+ vessels/core, while only 8 of 169 evaluable TMA cores had more than 10 VEGFR2+ vessels/core (Table 2), implying that only a proportion of CD34+ tumor stromal vessels co-expressed VEGFR2 protein in their endothelial lining. The gene discussed is CD34; the disease is neoplasm.
