rmMCP-7 is more effective in inducing tube formation by endothelial cells in vitro.

SVEC4-10 cells were cultured for 5 hours at 37°C on Geltrex® in the presence of rmMCP-6, rmMCP-7 or in the absence of tryptases. The area covered by tubes, the tube length, number of tubes, loops and branching points, the average area occupied by the loops were quantified using Wimasis WimTube. Tube length and mean of loop area are expressed in number of pixels. Data are presented as mean ± SD from five independent experiments. *p ≤ 0.05.
