Figure 4. Cellular apoptosis is greater in plaques of symptomatic patients.

Figure 4

Representative TUNEL staining can been seen in carotid plaques from (A) asymptomatic and (B) symptomatic patients. Inserts show magnification of the black boxes in the main figure and arrows indicate brown apoptotic nuclei (original magnification 200×). Proportion of apoptotic nuclei was greater in plaques of symptomatic patients compared to asymptomatic (p<0.01).
