Re-endothelialization of injured carotid arteries is promoted by IL8RA/RB-EC transfusion. (A) Isolated common carotid arteries from rats 2 wks post balloon injury. Rats were perfused with Evans blue (EB) dye prior to dissection. Common carotid arteries were cut from the aortic arch to the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries. Intact endothelium excludes the EB dye. (B) Percentage of de-endothelialized carotid artery assessed by EB dye technique (length of blue region/length between aortic arch and bifurcation). Results are means±SEM, (n)=number of rats. One way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. * p<0.05 vs. both Vehicle and AdNull-EC groups.
