Immunoreaction in decellularized blood vessel scaffolds in vivo. The images compare the immunoreactivity in the scaffolds prepared via protocol IV (considered the optimal protocol of the five experimental trials) 7 days after subcutaneous implantation in rats against that in fresh vascular controls. The green fluorescence shows the distributions of CD3e and CD11b (markers of T cells and macrophage cells, respectively) within the samples (magnification, ×100)
