Recruitment of exogenous platelets in postcapillary venules of WT mice receiving normal or apocynin water (Apo), gp91phox-deficient (gp91phox−/−) mice and bone marrow chimeras (WT BM→recipient) at 9 wks post-injection with mock-inoculum or mCMV. Mice were placed on either a normal diet (ND) or a high cholesterol diet (HC) for the final 4 weeks before observation. The platelets were obtained from matched donors, except where indicated by gp91 Pl→WT, in which gp91phox−/− platelets were observed in WT recipients (both mCMV-HC). Platelet interactions were divided into the following categories: A) saltating (stationary for ≥2 s, but <30 s); B) firmly adherent (stationary for ≥30 s); C) total adhesion (derived from the sum of saltation and firm adhesion). “0” denotes no firm adhesion observed. * P≤0.001 vs. all groups except corresponding WT; # P≤0.0001 vs. Mock-ND, Mock-HC, and mCMV-ND WTs; ^ P<0.001 vs. WT mCMV-HC and WT BM→WT mCMV-HC; † P<0.001 vs. gp91phox−/− mCMV-HC.
