Figure 4. T cell infiltrates and cellular proliferative activity are decreased in atherosclerotic lesions of BaffR.ApoE DKO.

(A and B) T cell infiltrates as assessed by anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 antibodies and (C) cellular proliferative activity as assessed by PCNA antibody were reduced by deficiency of BAFF-R. Open bar = ApoE KO; Black bar = BaffR.ApoE DKO; n = 9–11 mice; scale bar = 100 µm; *: p<0.05, **: p<0.01.
