Abstract EN
Even though the primo vascular system (PVS) has been observed in large caliber lymph vessels by several independent teams, the presence of the PVS in the thoracic duct has been reported by only one team, probably because reproducing the experiment is technically difficult.
This brief report presents a new, relatively straightforward method, which is a simple modification of the previous method of dye injection into the lumbar node, to observe the PVS in a thoracic duct of a rat by injecting Alcian blue into the renal node.
When this new method was applied to a rat, the branching of the primo vessel in the thoracic duct was clearly displayed.
Thus, this new method is expected to extend the network of the PVS from abdominal lymph ducts to thoracic ones.
