Staining was performed essentially as described previously (Yokomizo et al., 2019 (link), 2012 (link)). Staining was performed using anti-PECAM-1/CD31 antibody (Clone MEC 13.3, BD Pharmingen, 1:500) to detect endothelial cells and anti-RFP antibody (Rockland, 1:1000) to detect tdTomato. For immunofluorescent detection, either Cy3 or Alexa-647 conjugated secondary antibodies were used. All confocal microscopy was carried out on an Olympus FV1200 confocal equipped with GaAsP PMT detectors (Olympus).
