Table 2. Arterial GFP expression after stent-based delivery of Ad-GFP: morphometric results (anti-knob antibody- vs. D1-tethering for rat carotid stent reporter studies, mean ± SE).
Ad attachment strategy | Neointima | Media | Adventitia |
---|---|---|---|
PAA-BP/antibody/Ad-GFP stents | 37.9 ± 20.3 | 6.8 ± 1.6 | 19.6 ± 5.6 |
PAA-BP/D1/Ad-GFP stents | 23.0 ± 6.4 | 8.7 ± 4.5 | 16.4 ± 1.0 |
Data represent percentage of GFP-positive area relative to the total area of the respective compartment in microscopic sections.
