This protocol focuses on the quantitative description of the angioarchitecture of experimental tumor xenografts. This semiautomatic analysis is carried out on functional vessels and microvessels acquired by confocal imaging and processed into progressively reconstructed angioarchitectures following a caliber- classification step. The protocol can be applied also to the quantification of pathological angioarchitectures other than tumor grafts as well as to the microvasculature of physiological tissue samples.

Quantification of Tumor Vasculature by Analysis of Amount and Spatial Dispersion of Caliber-Classified Vessels

Abstract

This protocol focuses on the quantitative description of the angioarchitecture of experimental tumor xenografts. This semiautomatic analysis is carried out on functional vessels and microvessels acquired by confocal imaging and processed into progressively reconstructed angioarchitectures following a caliber- classification step. The protocol can be applied also to the quantification of pathological angioarchitectures other than tumor grafts as well as to the microvasculature of physiological tissue samples.
