Fig. 1 Comparison of viable endothelial cell numbers, by the ability to form clones in fresh untreated control (hatched bars) and cryopreserved (solid bars) canine veins. Data are expressed as the mean of n veins. *No significant differences were observed by one-way analysis of variance.

Fig. 2 An example of a norepinephrine dose response for cryopreserved (squares) and fresh (circles) saphenous vein. The data are expressed as the percent of maximal contraction obtained in response to increasing molar concentrations of norepinephrine.
