Microvascular supply around non–obliterative bronchiolitis small airways in group A (ie, small airways with normal blood supply). von Willebrand factor (A) or CD31 (B) staining ×10 magnification . (E = epithelial layer; L = lumen; MV = microvascular supply to small airways [only few vessels indicated for photo clarity]; SM = smooth muscle layer.)

5. Fig 4
Microvascular supply around small airways in group B (ie, small airways with not yet developed obliterative bronchiolitis but obliterative bronchiolitis seen in other small airways of same lung specimen). von Willebrand factor (A) and (B) staining ×20 magnification. (E = epithelial layer; L = lumen; MV = microvascular supply to small airways [note the lack of blood vessels around the small airways]; SM = smooth muscle layer.)

Microvascular supply around small airways in group C (ie, small airways with partial obliterative bronchiolitis obliteration). von Willebrand factor staining ×10 magnification. (E = epithelial layer; L = lumen; MV = microvascular supply to small airways [note the abnormal blood vessels around the small airways]; SM = smooth muscle layer.)

7. Fig 6
Microvascular supply around small airways in group D (ie, small airways with complete luminal obliterative bronchiolitis obliteration). von Willebrand factor and smooth muscle actin antibodies staining ×20 magnification. (BV = abnormal blood vessel within the obliterated lumen of the small airway; L & OB = small airway lumen completely obliterated by obliterative bronchiolitis scar; MV = microvascular supply to small airways [note the abnormal blood vessels around the small airways]; SM = smooth muscle layer.)
