Distribution Of Primo Vessels In The Mesentery Of A Mouse

We found that a combination of the phalloidin (specific to F-actin) and the DAPI staining methods was a reliable method to distinguish primo vessels from vascular and lymphatic vessels. Also, we traced primo vessels in the mesentery of a mouse with a combination of the phalloidin and the DAPI staining methods and a whole mounting technique. We showed that primo vessels with a threadlike structure were distributed like a network in the mesentery between the colon and the root of the mesentery and were extended into the colon walls or fat tissues
