Description
Abstract
Histochemical studies of the microcirculatory
system were reviewed with regard to the
organ specificity of the structural organization and fine
distribution of the lymphatic capillary network. The
lymphatics and blood vessels are characterized by an
enzyme-histochemical method using 5'-nucleotidase (5'-
Nase), alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) andlor diaminopeptidase
(DAPase) staining in additon to an immunohistochemical
method. The 5'-Nase-positive lymphatic
vessels can be distinguished histochemically from
arterial and venous vessels based on ALPase and
DAPase activity, respectively. The specificity and
localization of the enzyme reactions were confirmed by
comparative histochemical studies of the same specimen
with light microscopy and scanning or transmission
electron microscopy. These histochemical methods are
discussed in relation to their ability to demonstrate the
organ specificity of vascular networks under normal and
pathological conditions.
