The growth characteristics of human AVM xenografts in nude mice. (A) The general drift of the grafts voluminal alteration after transplantation (mean ± SD). (B) Graft appearance in the four quadrants of the nude mouse back at 5 days post transplantation (arrows). (C) 18 days after transplantation, the grafts turn to blue discoloration and a harder texture (arrows). (D) At 27 days, the grafts gradually turned purple (arrows). (E) At 60th day harvest, the graft was vascular and slightly smaller in size than original tissue (arrow).
