According to a study from Netherlands, "To assess ongoing lymphangiogenesis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by histomorphometry and by quantifying mRNA expression levels of lymphangiogenesis-related factors. Using D2-40 antibody as a lymphatic marker, lymph vessels were counted in tissue sections of 150 clear-cell RCCs (ccRCC) and 61 non-neoplastic controls, using the Chalkley method, which measures the relative lymph vessel area (LVA)." "Double-staining with Ki67 and D2-40 was used to assess active lymphangiogenesis. In a subset of 25 ccRCCs and nine non-neoplastic controls mRNA expression levels of lymphangiogenic factors were determined by real-time quantitative...
