Abstract:
We set up an ELISA that measures the concentration of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in human endometrial tissue and found a significant correlation with the mean vessel counts in vWF- and CD31-immunostained tissue sections. This ELISA allows an objective and quantitative evaluation of the vascular state in the endometrium and could be used as a method to evaluate the angiogenic state in other tissues.
