Figure 4

Local paclitaxel deposition scales inversely with lipid content in control (injury+normal diet, n=2) and diseased arteries (injury + cholesterol/oil diet+normal diet, n=2). Fluorescent paclitaxel (green) and lipid (inset, red) distribution in control artery (a) and in lesions of varying complexity (b)–(d). All samples imaged at the same intensity level and processed to eliminate backgrounds and artifacts with minimal residual autofluorescence exhibited by control arteries that were incubated in PBS (supplemental figure S2).
