TUNEL-stained sections of vein grafts of apoE+/+ (b and d) and apoE−/− (a, c, and e) mice. Vein grafts were harvested 4 (b and c) and 8 (a, d, and e) weeks after surgery, fixed in 4% phosphate-buffered formaldehyde, pH 7.2, embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and stained with TUNEL as described in Materials and Methods. a: Negative control.
