3 kDa TMR-dextran tracer was injected iv (150µl of a 2mM solution in PBS) into C56Bl6 WT mice for the pilot experiment (A), or iv into Ctrl and GOF mice in case of the real experiment (B).

In the pilot experiment vessels were nicely filled and labeled by 3 kDa TMR-dextran (arrows). In the SFO (dashed line) tracer extravasation was visible. In the experiment with Ctrl and GOF mice, the tracer was not visible in the vessel lumen, although successful iv injection was confirmed by the larger tracer (FITC-BSA, main Figure 6).
