Caption | Electron micrographs of brain capillaries in wild type (A and C) and Pdgfbtm1Cbet/Pdgfbtm1Cbet (PDGFB-/-, B and D-H) embryos at E18.5. Capillaries in wild type embryonic brains exhibited a smooth luminal and abluminal endothelial surface and a homogeneous thickness of the endothelium (A and C), whereas those in mutant embryos were of highly variable thickness (B and D). Luminal microfolds greatly enlarged the endothelial surface (D), and perivascular glial swelling was prominent (star in D). Caveolae were abundant in the endothelium of mutant embryos (E-H), both near the luminal (arrows) and the abluminal surface (boxed area, enlarged in G and H). In G, a series of caveolae appeared almost to connect the luminal and the abluminal compartment. Bars: A and B, 10um; C-F, 1um; G and H, 100nm. | ||||
