Figure 4

Serial sections of delaminated plaques at each mechanical experiment data point are stained with Masson's Trichrome (A), Picrosirius Red (B, cross-polarized transmitted light image), and Mac-3 (C, pink areas), to determine general morphology, fibrillar collagen content and macrophage content, respectively. The fractional areas of collagen and macrophages are quantified with ImagePro image analysis software.
