To assess whether EBF1 is also expressed in vessels in physiological and/or pathological non-neoplastic conditions, we investigated EBF1 expression on representative sections from different normal tissues (brain, skin, thyroid, bladder, pancreas, kidney, lung, cervix, colon, stomach, omentum) and in representative non-neoplastic conditions where angiogenesis is active (surgical scar, granulation tissue, inflammatory diseases, including encephalitis). The gene discussed is EBF1; the disease is viral encephalitis.
